Until a discussion here earlier today (re: getting the coyness of the kerning box) I was unaware that the toolbars in the Story Editor could be detached. I knew about the main Scribus window, but it never dawned on me that I could also detach the toolbars in the Story Editor. So I did so, and I am thrilled to discover that there is no longer a problem with the kerning box.
However, the detached toolbars stay on the desktop even when I minimize Scribus. Right now I am writing this e-mail and I have to drag the window away from the toolbars lest they obscure the e-mail compose window. I also have this problem with Inkscape, but not with any floating toolbars in any other application. I have Scribus 1.3.5 Rc3 on Ubuntu Jaunty x86_64. My video chip is nVidia Quadro 140M and I am using the open source driver. The desktop is standard Ubuntu Gnome 2.26.1, at 1680 x 1050. I don't know if the problem is in Scribus, Gnome or the video driver. Or maybe all three are not playing nice with each other. Before I file a bug report, has anyone else experienced this?
