If I had to make a guess, I'd suspect this to be a Qt bug. The # character is used as fragment identifier in URIs. I wonder if it's using a URI-like scheme internally for paths, and isn't properly escaping the # character. There are many other possible explanations, of course - that's really just a guess. However, the issue doesn't appear to affect Qt4 builds of Scribus, so that might well be it. -- Craig Ringer
