Hi Erik,
         Thank you very much. I confirm this bug. Could please open a
bugzilla entry for it at:

http://bugzilla.abisource.com/

 Most people use latex to input math equations into AbiWord which
might be why this bug has gone so long without detection.

Luca, do you have any idea what is happening here?

Thank you!

Martin
