Subject: Right tab issue
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Here's an odd one and I wonder if anyone else can reproduce it. I'm
running Abiword 0.7.14 under win98.
I type some text at the top of a document and then want my name flush
right on the same line. I set a right tab (I think that's what it's
called) near the margin. That works fine. However, if I set the tab
right at the margin, the program locks and nearly takes down the whole
system. (Right now, after having tried this, my program bar has black
spaces in it and the buttons had all disappeared until I hovered the
mouse over them. I went down to a BSOD after having had to Ctrl-Alt-Del
to kill Abiword, pushed space to terminate the program and the system
came up to a workable state.)
Can anyone reproduce this?

(That the heading font is arial is a problem for later discussion.)
However, I also like to put my name at the top of the document, flush
right, in normal font. Here's where things break down for me in msword
and in Abiword. To have text left and right justified in one line
requires the setting of a tab stop near the right margin. (see second
post for a bigger issue with this) But if I have set a style for the
line, then I can't have my name in normal text because the paragraph is
formatted as a heading.

the center, and then hit Alt F7 (flush right) and type something at the
right margin. It's very convenient.

post.
