Probably not. I just find the ergonomics a bit clunky because response isn't rapid, and mouse click events in particular sometimes seem to be missed. ----------=============------------ The only way I could get text box editing to work -sort-of-ok is to zoom in on the text to about 150% or more, even 250% and edit the offending bit of text then zoom out again. This tends to reduce the glunkiness. The Story editor seems to me to be sort of like Gedit in Linux or NotePad in windows but permits a few extra functions. One anomaly between the Story Editor and the Text Box editing is that fonts, type, size, etc don't show up in the Story Editor and changes made in the Story editor cannot be changed in the text box Properties dialog. Another would be to set the text font say Verdana 8 in the Story Editor but when a small change is needed in the text box, Properties>Text>Font displays the default font not the story editor font. If the font is changed in the Text box, which is difficult unless I call up the Story Editor, select the offending part and make the changes, it is not displayed in the Story Editor. I like the the story editor but wish that it's attributes, text layout and the F2 Properties>Text dialog were identical and interchangeable. Styles in Scribus 1.3.5 doesn't work in the Story Editor - Yeah I know its unstable but it worked in other Scribuses. Apologies for the whinge Roger
