Subject: Newpages and some more issues...(Linux)

Hi Folks!
Yesterday I downloaded sources of 0.7.11. It's really great, especially
segfault handler! Thank you! As far as I managed to make Abi read/write
Russian files, I tried to use it for real work.
BUT
Some things goes wrong:
Test 1.
Action Result
1<ctrl-enter>2 Two pages, as desired
<up> The cursor is in the end of 1st page
<enter> Oops! Should be: the second paragraph of the 1st
page, got:cursor is locked in page 2, document
view damaged
After saving and re-loading such a document, the normal view is
restored.
Test 2 (more harmful).
Type in the following text:
<begin>
The first page
The second page
The third page
<end>
Press <ctrl-enter> before "The third page", then before "The second page".
Everything is OK.
Save the document, then exit Abi, start Abi again and open the document.
The result is unreadable: we get 2 pages instead of 3, and some pages
are hidden.
(the real behavior with the REAL documents, including imported, are
much more complex, but this shows the way it works)
Fortunately, after export in RTF, other wordprocessor read the
document, similar to test 2 successfully and I saved my work ;)
Other/minor issues include:
- overwrite confirmation. When the confirmation dialog appears, the
save dialog is still displayed. In window managers with autoraise
function (such as AfterStep, WindowMaker, maybe others) this looks
annoying: the save dialog comes to foreground and needs to be shifted
out to confirm and go on.
- vertical scrollbar redraw dirt. Appears when I quickly move the
vertical slider.
