Comment 11 for bug 804169

Hi Robert,

As you can see from Charlie's reply, this bug won't ever be fixed in
12.04. You'll have to either wait till the next Ubuntu release or
switch to a different distribution. The abiword community recommends
you stick with version 2.8.6. You can get it in Fedora 17.
