Please file a bug report upstream.This is an abiword bug not an Archlinux one. Post the link here afterwards.

Well the bug was already reported but for windows platform. Almost same symptoms, but same solution. Link is here: <a href="http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11610">http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11610</a>

As with most things like this - we're going to have to wait for upstream to release a fixed version - I don't like rebuilding a package with a patch that's already been applied upstream and making users download it again for little gain.

This is one of those cases where using ABS is preferred.

The bug is there since 2.6.3 was released and almost no one has complained. I don't see it as a big problem. And if, everyone can simply overwrite one file...
