abiword 0.7.14 / ximian gnome on redhat linux 7.1 abiword does not recognize input from the numeric keypad of a standard 101-keyboard with numlock on (i.e. you can use it to navigate but not enter numbers).
This was fixed by me in CVS
I am still seeing this problem as of July 8, 01 in CVS.
Fixed 4 real this time
Verified.
*** Bug 1746 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This bug may still exist, or may exist again. See the screenshot including AbiWord on the 2nd page of this RedHat 8.0 review where the author complains about this very thing: http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=1842
Reopening on behalf of Eugenia Loli-Queru: (Using the AbiWord shipped with RedHat 8.0) Hi Andrew, yes, I can confirm that I can't enter numbers with Abiword 1.0.2 using the numpad, even if the numlock was on or off. Please reopen the bug for me, because I don't have an account on the abiword bugzilla. It would be nice to have Abiword for GTK+ 2.x only indeed, so this way it should be able to see and use the TTF fonts correctly I guess. It is a step forward and I think it should persued. thanks, Eugenia --------------------------- Editor-in-Chief at http://www.OSNews.com

I could not reproduce in 1.0.3 or STABLE, and I could not apply the fix to STABLE. Considering fixed for STABLE. NOT VERIFIED
I think that the key to reproducing it is being in a UTF-8 locale. Using numlock doesn't work with LANG set to en_US.UTF-8 but works just fine when LANG is en_US.
Adding "intl" keyword because of the UTF-8 link.
works on head regardless of UTF-8 or not
works fine in cvs head on redhat 8.0. my LANG is en_US.UTF-8. stable can do without this fix
Verified works, even on LANG=en_US.UTF-8 (ABIWORD 1.9.0)
gnome component is no more
