It > doesn't seem to occur at all. I do get one on unlinking though. I've just redone this attempt using two frames on the same page. Same problem. - Create two frames. - Select frame 1. - Click on "Link Text Frames" button in the toolbar. - Click on frame 2. - Deselect frame 2 by clicking on the page canvas. - Select frame 2. - Click on "Link Text Frames" button in the toolbar. - Click on frame 1. = Result: scribus trying to grind my CPU into dust until I kill it. Cursor changes its shape and I can' click anywhere else, not even another window, just use the keyboard to switch to the open terminal and hit Ctrl-C to kill scribus. http://soypr2.agry.purdue.edu/download/scribus-1.1.5cvs.strace-linking-2 > > I'm not attaching strace and ltrace files as they are large.
