[scribus] Invisible Text?

[amruginn-scribus at yahoo.com]

Ubuntu 11.10 Linux / Scribus 1.4.0.svn3 

I've attached the SLA file, and here is the script:


xPos = 53
yPos = 83
headerHeight = 22
headerText = createText ( xPos, yPos, 225, headerHeight )
setText ( 'Most Stats, Season', headerText )
setFontSize ( 16, headerText )
yPos = yPos + headerHeight
playerData = [
    [ '1', 'player1 (1988)', '640' ],
    [ '2', 'player2 (1996)', '616' ],
    [ '3', 'player3 (1997)', '596' ],
    [ '4', 'player4 (2003)', '542' ],
    [ '5', 'player5 (2005)', '535' ],
    [ '6', 'player6 (2012)', '505' ],
    [ '7', 'player7 (2011)', '500' ],
    [ '8', 'player8 (2004)', '496' ],
    [ '9', 'player9 (2004)', '480' ],
    [ '10', 'player10 (2007)', '465' ],
    [ '11', 'player11 (1987)', '462' ],
    [ '12', 'player12 (2009)', '458' ],
    [ '13', 'player13 (2006)', '456' ],
    [ '14', 'player14 (1989)', '450' ],
    [ '15', 'player15 (1993)', '448' ]
]
widths=[20,130,25]
yStart = yPos-12
for row in playerData:
    yStart = yStart + 12
    xStart = xPos
    iWidth = 0
    for part in row:
        thisText = createText ( xStart, yStart, widths[iWidth], 12 )
        setText ( part, thisText)
        setFontSize ( 8, thisText)
        xStart = xStart + widths[iWidth]
        iWidth = iWidth + 1


I don't think the script is at issue, even the deleting of the previous created textblocks and rerunning it. I wonder if I hit some magical sequence (ctrl-a -> delete), or (ctrl-z, rerun script), that caused the document to basically go invisible.

Thanks,
John

Can you provide the script and minimal sla that shows the problem.
