Just to clarify a touch, the "two space" habit is a hold-over from
typewriters and when computers only had fixed-width fonts. Whenever you
have proportional fonts, this is considered unacceptable (at least it is
here in Canada). Not to criticize, but I'm surprised anyone does this
any more.
This is not to say Scribus is behaving correctly, but I wouldn't
consider this a bug. I'd mark this as a non-critical enhancement.
Just my 1.5 cents.
