Ah, thank's, good catch.

Yes, that works for me as well (minimally sacrificing the page layout design I need to reproduce). But it's clumsy since the frames where auto-generated so I need to script a solution that walks the document's text frames and adjusts their size. > > In part, I think this comes from these measurements internally in > Scribus being converted to points.

Hmm, creative workarround :-) But will this work with the 'use right tab and underscore' workarround for scribus' missing horizontal lines? (that's my second usecase for right-aligned right tabs).
