Nothing wrong. 

Scribus text in PDF is optimized for exact placement of text within 
the PDF, which comes at a cost of not being easy to select from 
Acrobat Reader or other PDF viewers.

You can directly export text from frames into a plain text file. You 
can link the frames within Scribus and then all the text will export 
in a single go.
