OK this bug has been fixed in upstream AbiWord and should be available
in version 2.6.5

Thanks everyone for the bug reports.

Cheers

Also I heard that Firefox on Hardy occassionally has the same problem, strengthening my suspicion. In any case, this bug has been filed upstream (but not confirmed as an upstream problem) http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11539
