[scribus] deleteText() Resets Frame Attributes

[Peter Nermander]

> Okay.  I had been thinking that once I set some of the frame's text properties then those properties would stay that way until I changed them, even if I replaced all the text.  I can work around this.

I think you are confusing the text frame properties with the
properties of the text in the frame.

Does it work as you expect if you delete the text manually?

I just did a quick test here using Scribus 1.5.2.

In Preferences, text frame tool has default settings
Arial Regular 12 pt

Create text frame - it has default settings, Arial Regular 12 pt

Change text options for frame - Broadway BT 16 pt

Add 3 paragraphs of text

Change text options (font) for text
1st para: Futura
2nd para: Times New Roman
3rd para: Calibri

Leave edit mode by clicking outside frame

Select frame (single click)

Properties show Broadway BT 16 pt, but none of the text currently in
the frame has that font.

Enter edit mode (double click)

Ctrl-A and delete all text

Add new text

Text is Broadway BT 16 pt

This is exactly what I would expect.
