[Scribus] Deep Freeze

[wayne]

I just opened a file that I did in a previous version of Scribus last October. 
It must have been the version before 1.2. Anyway, back in October, I didn't 
have any major speed problems but when I opened that file in 1.2.1, 
everything is in slow motion. It now takes about 17 seconds before all of the 
top menu appears. It takes about 9 seconds from when the mouse is clicked 
till the text box selection outline is displayed. The mouse is still zippy as 
ever but reaction to mouse clicks takes forever.

This file is about 2 MB in size and full of graphics and text. Not all old 
files behave this way. Some larger files are OK. Small ones work fine too. 
Why would this one file (and a couple others) behave so slowly now as opposed 
to then? I'm using the same computer. The only differences that I can tell 
are the Scribus version and Mandrake (10.0 to 10.1) version. Is there some 
configuration in Scribus that is causing this to happen?

Thanks,
Wayne
