[scribus] Scribus 1.5..1 and 1.5.2 crash on Macos 10.11.6 when editing default character style or creating new char style

[Richard Sharman]

This is on a mac os 10.11.6 (El Capitan).  With both 1.5.1 and 1.5.2 if I do
New document, choose single sided, press OK
Edit / Styles / Default Character Style then press Edit
I get a popup “Scribus crashes due to Signal #11”

A similar thing happens if I replaced step 2 with trying to create a new character style from the default.  The Style Manager shows the Default Character Style as Family Arial.   With version 1.4.5 I do not get the crash, and the Style Manager shows the Default Character as Family Times.

In February I was able to use Scribus 1.5.1 but I was running a much older version of Macos  (10.6 I think).

Preferences / Fonts shows that Arial font is available.


When I ran Scribus from the command line there were some errors;  but I don’t thinkthey are significant:

Scribus Crash

bash-3.2$ 


I ran Scribus under gdb but it didn’t shed much light on the problem:

Any help would be appreciated!
