AbiWord document's borders keeps flashing

  • 772

I downloaded AbiWord 3.0.1. When I begin writing or reading a document, the borders of the document starts flashing ceaselessly. I've tried uninstalling AbiWord and installing it again, with no success. What should I do in order to fix this problem?

Help much appreciated. Thank you.

    After my testing and discussion with the OP in chat, it reveals that the problem is actually a theme related bug. There are different reports of this bug and a workaround is changing the default theme. Here is one of the bug report.

    But it needed test to check which themes work. Some theme seem to not working and some does work. After further test, I curated this list of themes that fix the issue.

    • Arc Theme
    • Arc Flatabulous Theme
    • Ceti 2 theme
    • Vertext theme
    • Menda and Menda Dark theme
    • Paper theme
    • Adwaita theme

    You can find these themes by searching. Here is a link of Noobslab PPA, who has some good collection of themes

    To install themes from the PPA. first add it using this two commands

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/themes
sudo apt-get update

    Then install it by

    sudo apt-get install <theme-name-here>
