Thank you for this response. Question about HELP:
* specifically about Community Help; I find the procedure very unfriendly; I tried to subscribe and never quite completed the process, I think. Is there a simpler way to connect with the community, like a link or a forum or something less machine-like (reminds me the early eighties...) Thanks in advance...

Spell checker language (Phil Tomlinson) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Wed, 03 Mar 2021 18:38:21 -0700 From: "Matt Miller" <matt.mil...@fastmail.com> To: scribus@lists.scribus.net Subject: [scribus] getAllText Sometimes Failing Message-ID: <bfb8e30b-8e20-4932-8249-39a4e88b4...@www.fastmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I've attached a test case that seems to show that getAllText() is sometimes succeeding and sometimes failing. When it fails it doesn't throw an error, but it just retrieves a string of length 1, instead of retrieving the actual text of the chain. I see this on 1.5.6.1 and 1.5.7.svn, in both Linux and Windows. To run the test open the .sla and from the script menu execute chapter_heading_style.py. The text frame name "debug" at the very top will contain the word "Error" if the getAllText() call in the script fails. What I see is that it works fine the first time, then it fails on every subsequent try, until I alter something on the document. For example, if I grab and move the "debug" text frame a bit then getAllText() will succeed once, and then fail repeatedly again. Saving and reopening the document also causes the script to work again the first time. Thanks. -- Matt Miller mailto:matt.mil...@fastmail.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
