Hi Robert,
As you can see from Charlie's reply, this bug won't ever be fixed in
12.04. You'll have to either wait till the next Ubuntu release or
switch to a different distribution. The abiword community recommends
you stick with version 2.8.6. You can get it in Fedora 17.

"This doesn't matter to Ubuntu, because they use LibreOffice by
default..."
If this is true, and Ubuntu only cares about the packages that are
installed by default, I'm off to a different distro. Abiword is
available in the standard repositories, so it's part of Ubuntu just like
LibreOffice.

@msevior: There wasn't any decision. Some Ubuntu developer thought it
would be a good idea to sync from Debian (which contains the 2.9
development branch) without consulting anyone. We (Xubuntu Team) noticed
that, but we were too busy and didn't have time/forgot to investigate
further. And so 12.04
It was 'fixed' in 12.04, because it now defaults to smooth scrolling
being disabled. The manual suggests there should be an option in
Tools/Prefs to set smooth scrolling now, but there's nothing in Prefs.
Which resides in the Edit menu BTW, not in the Tools menu.
And although it scrolls faster now
@msevior: As an individual triaging bugs and attempting to assist in
getting them fixed, I have no future plans to change anything. I am not
the individual responsible for any version of Abiword. If you could tell
us here if this issue is fixed in the latest version of abiword in
Ubuntu 12.10, that
Dear Charlie,
As I have said many times it has been quite frustrating that Ubuntu
distributed the development version of abiword (2.92) without
consulting the abiword community at all. That being the case, please
tell us your plan to release a version of abiword without all these
bugs.

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04, not Xubuntu. I thought I posted this bug under Lucid,
but apparently not.
My Abiword version is 2.8.2-2ubuntu1.1.
