Also, see if it still happens when using the vesa driver (add xforcevesa to grub cmdline)? Which word processing apps other than abiword does it affect - I'm guessing that those using monospace fonts (terminal, leafpad etc.) are fine. Joshua</blockquote> Well i've tried Fedora xfce Abiword ver 2.8.6 - no problems at all. Why on earth did development put an Abiword development version ver 2.9.2 on an LTS xubuntu release (12.04 in my case). A lot of grief for me when i needed to type a largish document. good job i've got a spare machine. james </pre></blockquote></div></body></html></body></html>
