I also encountered a crash when using automatic text frames, I didn't report it yet because I didn't reproduce it by now: I had 3 columns, Title text frame placed on top of them, first column partially filled with text, image placed on top of second & third column just below the title frame, then I added another text frame that was rotated a bit and moved that text frame around, sometimes I put it on the left text column, onto the text, sometimes below the text in there, sometimes onto the image. Maybe after 10 moves, scribus disappeared silently. Also, I opened an old test document of mine, containing 5 auto-text columns on a4-broadside, filled with lots of text in 10pt size. Everything got really slow again. But I think the auto text frames are a good feature, it's useful if you do something more repetitive... Imagine a newsletter, it would be hard to fill 40 pages with text frames by hand. > > *It would be nice to be able to see from the menu entry if hyphenation is > on > > or off (a small dot or check or something similar) > Good Idea, will include it. BTW, what do I do if I don't like the way Scribus hyphenates? I just tried to eliminate a hyphenation by hitting backspace behind it, but that simply deleted the character in front of the hyphen... Another issue: I can't minimize the measurements palette. When I click onto the minimize symbol, all I get is a beep. In the window menu from my window manager (fvwm), the iconify entry is grey.
