Hi,

Bug  0000129 was about bleed only. Bleed has been implemented in 1.3.4cvs as
per the bug's notes. The developpers are asking that a separate bug on
"taking care of specific margin issues with spanning elements on facing
pages" be made since 0000129 is now closed. Bug 0002683 seems to be the
right one for this discussion now.

Since we have a bug report number for this issue, I think we should add our
notes there to ease the reviewing and help the developpers.

Will Scribus automatically duplicate the

Tricky. I agree. The difficult part of making this automatic is that each
case is different and it is difficult for the user to have the reliable info
from the printer or binder. But again, let's pursue on the bug tracker!

Cheers!
