I've tested this several times. It seems that Scribus (cvs 1.1.3) can't handle reliably text frames that are linked "backwards." Let's say I'm trying to layout a newsletter where some article begins on Page 8. The article continues on Page 7 and then Page 6, etc. So I create a link from the text frame on Page 8 to the text frame on Page 7, and a link from that text frame to the text frame on Page 6, and so on. In other words I'm trying to flow text backwards from Page 8 to Page 1.
Sometimes I'll see text on Pages 7, 6 etc; sometimes I don't. I know I've linked the frames "properly" because after I, say, resize one or two of the text frames, the text appears. A similar behavior affects the print preview. When I try to print (to file), a crash often occurs.
