Hi Greg,

you are right, but this workaround is not usable when you want to use 
grouping :-D  So from my point of view appropriate workaround is to add 
into group some new ,helper' item which is larger than all other items. 
This method really helps me.

Unfortunately I reproduce problem in Scribus 1.5.0.svn too:

So I fill bugreport, look at

   http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=10144

I hope it helps to fix it.

Best regards,
O.
