Scribus 1.4.0 is now in the Ubuntu 11.04 repository. I am trying it (Build ID: 
C-C-T-F-C1.10.2-64bit) for the first time.  I opened a file which I had created 
using 1.4.0-rc-4, the text which had had the "Offset of baseline to characters" 
other than 0% is not correct, or at least not the way it used to be.
I had a lot of text boxes (which I reused in different issues).  When one 
contained a single line of text, I would set the offset to -52% so that it 
would be centred vertically. If I had two lines, the Offset would be left at 
0%.  Now, the text appears at the top of the box even with that -52% offset. 
And, I cannot move it down. I can move it up by using a + offset, and it then 
appears above the text frame. But moving it down with a negative offset does 
not work like it did before.

I just checked and this "problem" is also evident in 1.4.0-rc-6 so it crept in 
between those two releases.  I also checked the resulting PDF file, and all the 
single lines are in the wrong place.
Is this a bug, or has something been changed with this setting from earlier 
releases? If the latter, how am I now supposed to do this offset?  I can do a 
work-around (I guess), by setting the offset to 0% and moving the relevant text 
boxes down, but this does not seem very elegent.
HELP! I am just starting the newest newsletter and am stymied by this right now.
Thanks.
Murray
