Exactly, I bothered Franz with several bug reports on crashes with something like "Qlist or Qgrid out of bounds" with RH 7/8 Qt 3 packages. Since I have compiled my own Qt 3.1.2, all those messages and crashes have disappeared. Not a big deal - and Franz was able to make two small fixes which just add polish. Plus, I now have tested part of Scribus which I rarely use - auto text frames. Testing like this is what finds and catches the small bugs and make the program more reliable. > > The newest riddle is that Slackware 9 users can't enter Text from the Key- > board, but it works on every other Distro. > > > Everything is working as Peter said it was, text chains, which I suspect > > was one of the qt3 bugs I was having, and landscape printout works > > great.

I just tested the auto text flow and it fills from one frame to another just as expected. No need to force a refresh. Regards, Peter
