The workaround is very simple - editing the text in the story editor is not problem at all. It's just that when you put in corrections it's nice to see if a correction screws up your layout. So for me it's solved now, but it's annoying if you are just doing things and then don't think about that this particular thing causes a problem. > > I also do long documents in Scribus and I discovered that keeping a > small subsidiary document is handy.
