[Scribus] Text box formatting bug

I couldn't find this bug in the Bug Tracker, so I thought I'd ask here
before adding it. Scribus 1.3.3.9, Ubuntu Linux Gutsy Gibbon.

After the body text is inserted into the master text frames, the first
extra text frame that's inserted (like a photo caption, sidebar, etc.)
does not format correctly. The last word of the text is always on a line
below the second to last word. It does not matter how large the text box
is or how much room is left, the last word is always moved incorrectly
to the next line, and the text box always shows an X at the lower right,
indicating more text that doesn't fit....though there is none.

The only cure is to restart the machine, restarting scribus does not
help. Upon restart, the incorrectly formatted text box works normally.

Anyone else seen this?
