Well, first off, in a reply to another post I made at the same time,
someone gave me the link to the bug page. After searching I found that
this bug has already been reported. It is listed as "minor" and is not
marked as fixed.

Although I wouldn't class it as a showstopper, I would consider it more
than minor. The only way I can get text containing a - into a frame is
to write it in another text editor and then copy and paste into the
frame. That is because when I type - in a frame it changes the zoom
level, and does *not* enter the - into the text.

As for the version, I just did Help > Check for Updates and it said I
had the latest version. But Update Manager (I am on Intrepid) did see a
new version, so I installed it. The Help > About Scribus says the same
build, but the date is now April 5, 2009, so thanks for uploading the
latest version.

And after relaunching Scribus I tried a new document, created a text
frame, type - into it, and the zoom level still went to half what it
had been. 

Oh well, hopefully the April 5 version will resolve other issues.
Thanks again.
