This edit does fix the issue for me as well. Thank you. As an alternative for those leery of editing root owned program files, you could run the windows version of the across lite. Across lite is a free (as in beer) crossword puzzle application. To run across lite on ubuntu, you would need to install Wine from the Ubuntu Software Center first and then run the across lite installer. You should be able to open .puz files with across lite. I did find that I had to turn off the timer tool for it to work well, but otherwise works well. >From what I can see, Xword has not had any updates for a couple years and this >bug has been around for some time.
