I am new to Scribus, and have installed version 1.2 on Linux Mandrake 10. I began following the tutorial, got as far as creating the photo frame, and accessing the 'Properties' dialogue from the Tools menu. I entered the x-pos at 0.0, no problem. However, the moment I clicked the y-pos box, the programme crashed, and the page disappeared off the screen. This happened repeatedly, and still happened if I tried to move from x- to y- with the Tab key as well. The next time I tried to avoid the Tools Properties dialogue altogether by resizing the frame with the mouse, which was OK, and I inserted a photo (incidentally, no idea where I am to find the sample photo to follow the tutorial). However, when I attempted to resize that, that also disappeared (though the page remained). Is my installation faulty? Where is the problem likely to be? What can be done about it - or does the whole thing have to be installed from scratch?
