A few days ago I installed AbiWord 1.0.2 to my Slackware system.
Everything is working fine, EXCEPT the letters/numbers on the
keyboard. When I press a letter/number key nothing happens.
All the other keys work: Space, Backspace, Home, End, UpArrow,
DownArrow, LeftArrow, RightArrow, keys, PageUp, PageDown, Enter.
Even the Ctrl and Alt combinations work (eg. I can exit AbiWork
using Ctrl-Q). Mouse is fine: I can click on drop-down menus
and select options. I can use the symbol tool (with the mouse)
to enter letters/numbers. They show up on the screen just fine
(it's just their keys that don't work). I can load documents
and edit them using the keys that work (space, backspace, etc.).
And here's the weirdest part: if I click on File->Save As, the
letter/number keys all work in the little box. But as soon as
I close the window and return to the main AbiWord text-entry
area, the keys do nothing.
I have never seen this problem before. The Ted wordprocessor is
working fine on this system (and so did two other wordprocessors
I tried). Mozilla runs fine. What's with AbiWord????
BTW this is not a unique problem. A google search found two
other people with exactly the same problem who asked for help
(about six months ago) on different discussion groups. Neither
of them got a reply.
Cheers,
Steven
