There was a change in the space required above and below a font as 
Scribus went from 1.2.x to 1.3.3.x to 1.3.5, and this results in 
displacements of text inside a frame. It looks like you've added a 
number of empty lines above your word Nothing -- one issue could be the 
size that is assigned to those lines (linespacing). It should be fixable 
by getting rid of extra lines until your text appears.
This is a real problem in many cases when you load an older document 
into a newer version, and can require a lot of tweaking.
