2. Open a file - .doc, .abw, etc.
3. Select - Print

You can use -march=k8 cflag for better optimization for all your system, it is a
safe cflag :)

[Comment 2 Mike Gardiner (RETIRED) 2006-01-09 16:36:08 UTC]

I can't reproduce this with 2.2.11 on x86, with or without USE="gnome". Additionally, the only references I can find seem to be old, and on x86-64. Can you try upgrading to 2.4.1, and see if the problem is resolved?

To do that, you'll need to:

USE="~amd64" emerge abiword

Please reopen if this problem persists.
