Description msterret 2001-12-01 18:51:27 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.2.1) Gecko/20010901

Description of problem:
When Ignore All is used when spell-checking a document, the resulting file
will be destroyed when loaded again from a new instance of Abiword.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.at the prompt: abiword test1
2.type: testin
3.press the spell-check button and choose Ignore All for testin
4.press the save button and exit
5.at the prompt: cat test1 (you should see a file very similar to the one
that I'll attach.)
6.at the prompt: abiword test1 ...."Oh, crap.  Where's my data?"
7.exit abiword
8.at the prompt: cat test1 (to appreciate the death of your data)
	

Actual Results:  abiword cleaned the content out of the file. (and
basically wrote the file without me pressing the save button)

Expected Results:  abiword should simply load the file a second time.

This is fixed in 0.9.5.


Comment 3 msterret 2001-12-20 04:10:31 UTC
Seems like the total loss of data in the file warrents a little more speed
in getting an update out, don't you think?

Come on guys, explaining to user that "they'll just have to type that memo
again" doesn't look good.
