No, it happens after double clicking into a text frame and then trying to type. RC3 did not exhibit this behavior. It is happening in pre-existing text frames in a document that was created with 1.3.9, but it worked fine in RC3. Doesn't do it every time. Very strange behavior. Makes the program unusable. I've been using Scribus for over a year now, and have never seen anything like this before.
