I'm trying to follow the tutorial 'Get Started with Scribus 2006' using Scribus 1.4.2 under Linux Mint 17, 32 bit.
I am experiencing a disappointing number of problems getting the results described in this old tutorial. One such problem appears when I am directed to set the colour of Text in the MastHead Banner: " Select 'Red' from the drop-down menu next to the bucket icon, which stands for 'Fill Color' for our text. " Yep I can select red OK and elsewhere in the properties dialog I am told that the test is now red - but it appears the shade of red you see if you look at the colour 'lime' - which co-incidentally is the last colour I used in the tutorial (to set the fill colour of a small square frame). Furthermore the drop down list of colours shows a nice bold red bullet against the 'lime' colour, but none against the red colour. I cannot set the text to red. What is going wrong here?
