Again im doing things most users are unlikey to do by highlights undersirable behaviour, and Abiword should be reasonably able to cope with deviants like me trying to mess the system. This may need to be refiled as several bugs. If so use this as a tracker (change the summary accordingly). Put Huge amounts of text in the header and it wont be displayed. It just gets truncated, althought the information is actually saved to the file. There is no way of scrolling to or viewing to this text. If you put really huge text (72 point) in the header it seems to disappear. Even if you shrink it back. Select All does not seem to include headers? How do i select the all the header content? There is not a clear answer to this, most users wont try and break abiword like im doing but exceptional cases should be dealt with and boundries set whenever possible. The header probalby should not need ot be more than 5 lines, unless im doing a large font. Perhaps turning the header into a subtext box with scrolling? I managed to crash abiword will testing this, its probably related. ive sent it as an attachment to the mailing list and hopefully someone will attach it. ive marked this as all platforms, make a comment and change the status if it does not apply.
most of this, except the crash is expected behaviour the crash screenshot has not yet been attached, but it is in the mail archive just after about "2001-07-15 09:27" when this was bug was opened.
Please describe the behaviour that leads to the crash. The rest of this should go in user documentation. Closing. Martin
Verified.
