[scribus] Version 1.3.9: Cannot correctly apply paragraph stiles in Text Editor

Hi,
in version 1.3.9, I could not correctly apply paragraph stiles from within Text Editor (tried it both on a Windows Vista and a Windows 7 64bit PC). That features is lovely and workes fine in version 1.3.3.14. Does anyone know if there is a known workaround (except applying stiles within layout-view, which works fine)

Thanks in advance,
Siegfried

Note: In general, I think Scribus is great. We use it to create a monthly magazine for a bartering/alternative currency system.

please read carefully my email: you have the choice: time or money.

(or becoming a terrorist by:
- stealing a computer
- stealing a dvd with os x 10.5)

joe, i don't know if you're comfortable with OS X and ppc, but it's two times end of line: there have not been any consumer PPC  computers for years and most applications don't support 10.4 any more.

and if you have read my past emails, you would know that i've tried hard to get an official .dmg for os x 10.4 but failed.

and you would also know that i've promised not to help any people, to get scribus to work on a 10.4, anymore

ciao

in finkcommander you have two buttons in the toolbar: one for installing from binaries, one from source.

Something that has been mentioned before, but somewhat lost in this
thread, is that you may need tooltips in some scenarios, ie warnings
perhaps, and more general help in a panel area in the app other times.

I dont particularly find tooltips an annoyance either. But what I do
find useful and have mentioned before is that Inkscape has a useful
feature (and is a similar app in many ways), where at the bottom the
screen in a single line in the GUI interface there is always mention of
how you can use the button (command) that you are hovering over or have
selected. ie if you are using a Move tool, this line adds info that is
pertinent to _exactly_ what you are doing.

ie if on a left hand top grab bar of an object, it says 'Rotate
selection, with Cntrl (in Bold) to scale uniformaly, with Shift to scale
around rotation centre'.  So if you're not sure for example how to scale
it uniformly it gives you a clue. Using other grab bars on same object
gives different relevant info on the possible actions from here.  I've
found this type of system with a more complicated app such as a graphics
tool like Inkscape, really really useful.
