Abiword exits whenever one needs to use a file chooser to open or save files to be used or saved by AbiWord. # Steps to reproduce 1. Run AbiWord (with no other instances open, just to make sure). 2. Go to: File → Open * Or to: File → Save as * Or to: File → Export # Notes I have attached the strace from the start of `strace abiword` until the File → Open action is done. # Workaround At least for openning files: Run AbiWord with the existing file as argument. Respectfully, Adonay.
