Mageia 6 and Abiword

Postby jbarntt56 » Aug 5th, '17, 18:54

Upgraded to Mageia 6 from 5 and installed Abiword 3.0.1 from Mageia repos. Abiword 3.0.1 worked fine in Mageia 5, but in 6 it displays docs as black on black,
If you click on the doc it brieflly displays correctly. This didn't happen in Mageia 5. An Abiword bug report shows this to be a problem in 3.0.1 and newest GTK.
The bug was reported as fixed in Abiword 3.0.2, any chance that this version will be available soon?
As it is, Abiword is unusable in Mageia 6. Results are the same using either Plasma or IceWM

TIA,

Joel

I read Mageia bug reports 18061 and 20167. The first is older and is not the same as I descibed, but appears related.
20167 is newer and reports the issue as I described it. It is noted in that report that it is a bug in Abiword that has been fixed in
version 3.0.2, so I didn't add my 2 cents worth.

I'll wait and see if Abiword gets the update in the repos, and try my hand at compiling 3.0.2 from source myself. Gives me something to do with
my new M6 install!
