I'm sure this is answered somewhere in the manual, but I can't find it (actually, that's my biggest complaint about the manual... I just cannot find stuff in it; maybe I'm just too used to the TeXbook's index).
Anyway, it seems like whenever I create a text frame and put some text in it, the vertical extent of the box always has to be much larger than the vertical extent of the text (roughly by a factor of two) in order for the text to display. If I make the frame shorter than about twice the height of the text, the text does not display at all. It seems like there's some margin setting or something that is invisibly occupying the lower half of the frame :-( How do I create a text frame that fits much tighter around the text and yet still allows the text to be displayed? Currently using 64-bit Scribus 1.3.5svn 26 January 2009 (the Kubuntu-ng package), but this has haunted me for at least the prior two Kubuntu releases, so I think it's a fundamental lack of understanding on my part rather than any kind of version-specific problem.
