According to upstream bug, it's a gtk 3.18 bug which Abiword triggered.
An update to 3.20 fix the issue, which is the case on yakkety. To fix
the bug on 16.04, we have to find the correct gtk fix (which may not be
that easy).

Bug description:
After adding some text in a new document, the entire document
(including gray page background, text, text cursor) starts to flicker
very fast. The UI above does not flicker. This happens too on a
different system in VirtualBox. (Lubuntu 16.04 i386)
Workaround
==========
1. Open the Lubuntu menu.
2. Open Preferences>Customize Look and Feel
3. Change the theme to something other than Lubuntu-default or
Lubuntu-dark-panel
