I'll see about taking a look at it this morning after I get through
what looks to be a ginomous update (all those binary files!!!)
Incidentally ... just to let the other AbiWord folks know, I think
that I've finally squashed the scroll bar issue ... things seem
to be working more sanely now (although I have some questions
about the scroll behaviour doing a better job of "centering" the
user ... but more on that later).

I'd like to hear more about this ... is the patch for compressed
abi word documents?

Well there are definitly differences, but I can't recall if backwards
compatability was broken (generally is). I'd really like to work
through these issues with you asap ... my problem of course is that
I'm running release 4.5.x and may not see the same problems that
you are.
