(Get the code!)
This really should reflect that the bug is fixed only in Quantal.
Precise is still using abiword '(2.9.2+
I've tested the Quantal final version in both Ubuntu Precise and Xubuntu Precise using the procedure here:
http://
But only experienced testers should try that because applying more than the abiword updates will undoubtedly blow up a users Precise :^(
Besides asking for help with this at the forums I've begged for help in bug 1069634 where I said, "I really need some dev help with this", and also here:
https:/
I've been a dedicated iso/upgrade tester since 2008 but I'm in over my head here and really need some hands-on help, not just advice. I suffer from numerous medical deficits, but I'm not stupid - my abilities are just limited - like I cant use IRC chat.
In this case I recognize a need, and I have the will to try and fix the problem, but I lack the ability - so please help.
I think I could provide most of the info requested here:

Not so much about regression potential though, even though I see no problems with the Xubuntu and Ubuntu upgrades I mentioned previously, but maybe some package that's upgraded in that process effects an app that I don't use?
Anyway, I see that Jeremy Bicha is subscribed and I know from past experiences that he listens so hopefully he'll know how to change this to:
Precise >>> Confirmed
Quantal >>> Fix Released
Because that is accurate.
And I'm subscribing 'ubuntu-sru' because Ubuntu 12.04 is a 5 year LTS, Xubuntu 12.04 is a 3 year LTS which ships abiword as a native app, and we should not be shipping a broken app in our repos for that length of time unless upgrading to the Quantal version presents an actual regression potential.
I'll be glad to perform any requested tests, preferably with an actual written test-case, but I really need some hands-on help here ;^)
Rather off-topic but the current Quantal version of abiword also fixes bug 1019621 along with many upstream Debian bugs reflected in the Quantal abiword changelog - I'm just not smart enough to figure out exactly what upstream change fixed that bug.
