Hi there, I think, we already had this topic some (years? months?) time ago, but I can't find it anymore.
In my oppinion, Scribus handles strokes of frames in a strange way. For example, create a frame and set it's size to 50 x 50 mm. Then, set the color of the strokes to black and the size of the strokes to a big value, for example 10 pt. Scribus now draws a line around the frame with the border of the frame as the line's middle. The result is that the frame itself grows to more than 50 x 50 mm - the size of the frame is no longer exactly defined. When I look ar QuarkXpress or InDesign, both are handling strokes this way: Putting the lines of the stroke *inside* the frame, so that the content place of the frame shrinks, but the size is still correct defined. I think, that this is the more intuitive way. What do you think?
