Bug Description
I created this report via ubuntu-bug using the terminal and it suggested the following title so I'll just include it here in case it contains any relevant information which is not recorded elsewhere:
"gvfsd-http assert failure: *** Error in `/usr/lib/
(... you've probably already noticed I'm new to this).
I've already tried to report this bug/crash but it was listed as invalid due to not going via ubuntu-bug; for the record that report can be found here: https:/
So - I Simply try to copy an image from Firefox and paste it into Abiword and it comes up with the 'Ubuntu has encountered a problem' dialogue. Subsequent attempts just result in a new line. Text pastes fine, haven't tried other sources of images e.g. different browser. I have managed to get the occasional image to paste successfully from Firefox, but do not know how.
A friend who runs Xubuntu 12.?, was complaining of this, then another friend running 13.10 32bit said the same thing was happening. I am running 13.10 64bit, and can also replicate the error. My abiword version is 3.0.0.
Can not believe I'm not finding more on this by searching, seems like a major problem affecting all three of the Xubuntu users I know on different versions. All I came across was a bunch of very similar problems affecting older versions of Abiword - One had a fix in a later release, the others were listed as invalid due to how they were reported.
I get the following error by running Abiword from the terminal and then reproducing the problem:
** (abiword:7678): CRITICAL **: char* UT_go_url_
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
