Description MP 2026-05-25 15:23:01 UTC 
Abiword installed with pkg - version 3.0.8 - crashes when opening documents saved in the OpenDocument format (.odt). The OpenDocument filter is in the Active Filters list in the Abiword Plugin Manager (Tools > Plugins). Abiword will open, edit, and save documents in other formats such as .txt, .abw, and .doc.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. # pkg update && pkg upgrade
2. # pkg install Abiword
3. Open Abiword and write something (I wrote "test")
4. Save as an OpenDocument
5. Close Abiword
6. Try opening a .odt file from your file manager or reopen Abiword and try to open a .odt file from within the application

ACTUAL RESULTS

Abiword crashes

EXPECTED RESULTS

Abiword loads the .odt file and functions normally (editing, saving, etc.)
