[Scribus] Usability needs attention -- time for a feature

I understand your point and thanks for considering this experience.
It might be as you say however it might not be since i replaced
with a 4 character wich is an existing black triangle looking character.
So how do i get this black triangle if not selecting 4
and changing its font ?

An important thing in this usability discussion is that this happened
in a less than one minute experience
(i was just checking before answering to a mail on this discussion !).

Sure, i can find a way to overcome that obstacle
(close and reopen the app as proposes Richard).
But I cannot accept to encounter et overcome such obstacles
every minute in such a tricky way !
And please remember that this is just emerging from the last point
in my reply about that un-usability conclusion.

Strange however : some people are very happy with Scribus
and seem to use it to do things close to what I need to do !
