Hi,

I am not sure what version of Scribus you are using, but on my 1.3.5
variant.

1. Select the text box
2. Properties
3. Select 'Text'
4. Adjust the 'Fixed line spacing' size value

and it all works as expected.

You seem to be doing the same, so I am not sure why it is not working
for you.

If you are not confident, don't do the following.

1. Back up your .scribus directory
2. Remove your .scribus directory
3. Open a new document, create a text frame and insert some text
4. Then from the properties, see if you can adjust the line spacing

If you can, it would suggest something has polluted your .scribus file
If not, you can take your backup .scribus and put it back where it
came from.

What font are you using?
