Public bug reported: Simply try to copy an image from Firefox and paste it into Abiword and it comes up with the 'Ubuntu has encountered a problem' dialogue. Subsequent attempts just result in a new line. Text pastes fine, haven't tried other sources of images e.g. different browser.
A friend who runs Xubuntu 12.?, was complaining of this, then another friend running 13.10 32bit said the same thing was happening. I am running 13.10 64bit, and can also replicate the error. My abiword version is 3.0.0. Can not believe I'm not finding more on this by searching, seems like a major problem affecting all three of the Xubuntu users I know on different versions. All I came across was a bunch of very similar problems affecting older versions of Abiword - One had a fix in a later release, the others were listed as invalid due to how they were reported. ... I'm guessing that's going to happen to this post because I haven't done done what those OPs were told to, but I have tried and don't get it. This is what I'm talking about: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/abiword/+bug/993543/comments/3 I've followed those steps and a window opens so I click continue and it just disappears, and if it has created a crash report on here, I have no idea where it is to follow it ... Sorry, new to this Anyway, I can get the following error by running Abiword from the Terminal and then Pasting: ** (abiword:7678): CRITICAL **: char* UT_go_url_resolve_relative(const char*, const char*): assertion 'ref_uri != NULL' failed If you want me to do anything to give you more information or post this in a different format , just let me know.
