The place for bug reports is http://bugs.scribus.net and please attach 
the files which demonstrate the issue.

You also not need worry that bug reports disappear in a black hole. 
While not all bugs can be fixed right away, they are looked at by 
several folks on the team and handled as quickly as possible.
