This is a significant improvement over the previous update. It's now usable in both Wayland and Xorg. (In Wayland, the caret is missing, but that's a known upstream issue: http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13767.)
BZ#1390020 [abiword] text body in abiword turns black all the time, e.g. when losing focus
As stated in #1287835, the screen flickering issue is only fixed in the forthcoming release abiword 3.0.3. It still occurs in a GNOME on Xorg session for the present build and appears to be triggered by the blinking of the text cursor.
In a GNOME on Wayland session, the text cursor is missing completely.
BZ#1390020 [abiword] text body in abiword turns black all the time, e.g. when losing focus
No black screens. Flickering in top 1.5in of screen for 10 sec. when: 1) start abiword; 2) click on screen; 3) enter text; 4) page up to top of doc; 5) open existing doc. Unusable for me. (Xorg)
