Hi,
I have not been able to show highlighted text correctly with either
abiword-2.0.0 or abiword-2.0.1. The text is highlighted as far as the
operation of the program is concerned (it manipulates the selected text in
the ordinary way), but abiword chooses white as the background colour for
highlighting, which is indistinguishable from the background white colour for
unhighlighted text. So although the text is selected, it cannot be
identified by the user.
The only way I can indentify the selected text is by going to
Tools->Preferences->Layout, checking the "Allow screen colours other than
white" and picking a non-white colour (or doing the same via
Format->Background). However, then non-selected text has the chosen colour
as its background, and the selected text has a white background, which is the
reverse of the effect I would like.
I also notice that checking "Enable smart quotes" fails to work, even though
the relevant smart quote characters (U+201C and U+201D) are available in the
relevant font set and can be found by other word processors, and indeed can
be seen and displayed by abiword in documents written with smart quotes by
other word processors and then opened up in abiword. However, this seems to
be a different bug.
I compiled abiword myself from sources with gcc-3.2.3, and I am using
GTK+-2.2.4, gnome-2.4.0 and fontconfig-2.2.1.
Can anyone help?
Chris.
