It's not on a page; it's on the pasteboard. That is, it was on the pasteboard. I had left Scribus running in what I considered hung condition for up to 30 minutes to see if it would finally delete the image, but it did not. When I went to bed last night I left it trying to delete the image again. When I got up this morning the image was finally gone. So apparently Scribus was not hung, it was just thinking really hard. I saved the file, so the image problem is resolved. But I still have four items on the pasteboard to delete. All four are groups of Scribus lines. I am getting the same "hung" condition when I try to delete them, the same as the bogus image. This afternoon I will be at a different location reuiring restarting the computer. Considering that I don't recall ever having problems deleting objects when I ran 1.3.5.1 on Jaunty, I will try deleting items with a Karmic live CD. That will at least tell me if it is something wrong with my 1.3.5.1 on Fedora. If I have no problems on a Karmic live CD, then I will try with a Fedora live CD. Something must be wrong; hopefully I can narrow down the source of the problem.
