In `1.1.1' the measurement palette is now properties. Ok. If one uses automatic text box then it does not show.There is nothing to modify But if one manually edits the auto text frame the properties still do not show. Then if one re-enters scribus, one gets QCLipboard: Unknown SelectionNotify event To toggle between hide and show properties gets neither. It used to be also Item --> modify. That was useful and known to ex-Quark users. Bart Alberti bart at solozone.com
