This is the most annoying thing for me -- you do this one time in a complex text frame (different fonts, sizes, colors) and you really don't want to use Story Editor again. Even something simple, though: If I open Story Editor, and just change justification on one line. I click Save and Exit; then I get a requestor saying, "Do you really want to lose all your changes?" At that point, after I have just clicked Save and Exit, I don't know what I am supposed to do. I click No and the change is made -- this is backwards. Consider a comparable interchange at the Post Office: Me: "I would like to send this letter to John Smith." Postal clerk: "Are you sure you want me to throw this in the trash? -- just answer 'Yes' or 'No'." This is how Scribus is handling this exchange -- if that isn't obtuse, I don't know what is.
