Thanks for the response. I also have 1.3.5 on Ubuntu (Jaunty). But I discovered something else. After restarting Scribus and reloading the document it no longer selects the frame unless I completely enclose it. The document where this occurred is rather complex. I'm using 1.3.5 partly because I need its features, but also because using it on such a document is a good way to find bugs so I can contribute a bit to the project. I think I just found one. Unfortunaately I have no idea what I did to the frame that made Scribus select the frame when it was not supposed to, and I can't reproduce it with a new document. Maybe this will happen again when I can figure out what the pattern is so I can file a bug report. Meantime I'm glad to know that my memory is still working. Thanks.
