AbiWord hanging in Linux

I'm using AbiWord 2.2.8 under RedHat 9. I wanted to insert a symbol (A
flat, which I couldn't find.) but when I tried to use the "alphabet"
labled "cursor," AbiWord hung. I had to use Ctrl-Alt-2 to get to
another consol, use ps -A and kill -9 as root to clear it. This
happened twice. Anybody know anything about it?
