As to the clipboard issue, it appears to truly be caused by KDE 3.3, and not Scribus. 3.3 is doing some strange things with the clipboard, such as placing items you highlight on the clipboard (even when you tell it not to). This was very frustrating at first because when I would highlight a paragraph in Scribus, and then try to replace it with Paste, I would get the original paragraph.
Also 3.3 keeps track of multiple "cuts" and "copies". I would repeatedly get only a portion of what I copied when I pasted it into Scribus. Sometimes I would get something I copied a few "copies" ago. When I was trying to track down the source of these problems, I noticed that I was experiencing them even when I tried to paste into KEdit. The only way I could get my problems to disappear, was by doing the following each time: 1. Configure the KDE clipboard to allow complete clearing of the clipboard. By default it prevents this. 2. Prepare the location in Scribus where the text was going in advance. 3. Clear the clipboard in KDE, using the utility in the notification area. 4. Do the copy and paste. For your information: I was copying RTF formatted text from a WINE application (Bibleworks 5), into Scribus. However, the oddities were still there when I tried to use Kedit as an intermediary between the two programs (copying from Bibleworks to Kedit, then from Kedit to Scribus). >I know theres one on resizing a linked text frame smaller from the top, but >the gdb backtraces I get arent of any use so far.

I will see if I can find a way to duplicate this consistently. I have taken to moving the frame, and resizing from the bottom. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
