Hi
I've come across a few problems whilst using scribus 1.0.1.
1. Scribus freezes if text boxes are chained together into a loop:
create a new document
add a text box
add another text box
chain first text box to second
now chain second text box back to first (I know this is not a sensible
thing
to do, but.... )
drag first text box; scribus freezes
2. Scribus crashes when dragging a line's start point
create a new document
draw a line
drag start point of line; the line doesn't follow the mouse, and
eventually
shoots off to the right, and then scribus crashes with a segmentation fault.
Dragging the end point of the line does not exhibit this behaviour.
3. When chaining textboxes, empty text box becomes invisible
create new document
add a text box
add second text box
chain first text box to second; second text box disappears. (but it is
still
there)
4. When typing into two empty textboxes that are chained together, the first
character that overflows to the second textbox ends up on the wrong side of
the insertion point; the next character typed appears in front of the last
character, not after.
5. Strange insertion point motion in chained textboxes. Having typed into two
chained textboxes, if backspace is pressed at the beginning of a line in the
second textbox, the line break is deleted as expected, but the insertion
point jumps to the first character in the text box.
6. Chained textboxes aren't always repainted when the page is scrolled down
and then back up.
