[lubuntu-devel] Abiword issue for Lubuntu Xenial

[Henk Terhell]

The release notes for Beta 2 imply that bug #1484785 of Abiword language 
selector is not related to Lubuntu. However, I run today a live session 
of Manjaro LXDE 16.03 (released a few days ago) and this bug was not 
present, though the new Manjaro distro is also using Openbox 3.6.1 and 
Abiword 3.0.1. There is an error message when checking Abiword version 
in Lubuntu Xenial, see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/abiword/+bug/1484785/+attachment/4611451/+files/abiword-version.jpg
Maybe this is of some help.
