Bug#896745: Abiword: selecting font size fails with keyboard
Package: abiword
Version: 3.0.2-2+deb9u1
I can change the font size by selecting with the mouse one of the predefined sizes in the scroll-down list.
I can not change the font size by entering the font size with the keyboard. This is necessary for chosing font sizes not listed in the scroll-down list.
This might be a clue. Upon entering the font size with the keyboard, abiword prints to stdout:
(abiword:7994): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from 'GtkBox' to 'GtkComboBox'
(abiword:7994): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_combo_box_get_model: assertion 'GTK_IS_COMBO_BOX (combo_box)' failed

I created in January 2017 an abiword documents with font sizes not listed in the scroll-down list. Back then, abiword "was working".
