Bill, In previous versions when you selected the text and set the color shade, it would create a shade of the text color. However in 1.1.1 what I have noticed is that the color and shades refer to box color and shades, not text colors and shade.
May be i am doing something wrong. Here is how I tried to verify this. Create a text box and type some text into it. Highlight some text and shade it differently (40 or 50%). doing this do you notice any difference? Try print preview. In both I haven't seen any difference in shade. If you change the color of the highlighted text, the text box itself becomes colored. If then you try to change the shade, I noticed that it changes the shade of the text box. I am using Scribus on mac.
