I have been suing Scribus with no problems for a good few months now - completing our first issue of our magazine in Scribus last month. But I had to unfortunately abandon it yesterday and use powerpoint to create an online brochure. My document had images in the background and a text box over part of the image. The text box backgrounds were filled with white. On two occasions within a few hours I noticed a flicker on the screen and then noticed that all the text boxes no longer had a white background and the text itself was very faint. I tried all sorts, refilling the text box (Scribus showed it was set to a white background) but no change. Created a new text box, did the same thing again, but still no change. I couldn't see any other setting that had changed. In the end I had created a new document and started again - and then of course half way through completing the document the same thing happened again, a slight flicker on the screen and when I scroll through, all the text boxes no longer have a white background over the background images and the text in the text boxes are very faint.
Please help - has anyone experienced this? I may need to find an alternative for the next mag issue as I can't afford for this to happen because of tight deadlines. Many thanks! Lisa :)
