[scribus] scribus is it dead

Hi All
I am still working on this 300 odd page instruction manual, which is really painful as I have a 10 - 15sec wait after every mouse click or move etc.
Sometimes the carat will just not appear and I have to click out of frame and back in again with the above time delay between each action - as I said it is PAINFUL!
My sample file I uploaded to Mantis tracker proved what the problem, was but I have heard nothing back.
I for one would be extremely glad to see some improvements in Scribus workability
I suppose that may never happen to this version 1.5.7 - but I use other legacy programs and cannot update the OS past High Sierra.
kind regards from an ever hopeful user
Colin

I suspect the move from the QT5 to the QT6 programming environment is what?s taking most of the attention right now.

As far as not seeing anything new in the website in a long time, maybe that?s just the nature of the Scribus project. Every volunteer-based project moves at its own pace, based on how many people are contributing. Maybe you can contribute something!

When the last line of a frame is not the end of a paragraph, and we "unlink and cut" the next frame in the chain, then the paragraph style of that last paragraph of the previous frame is changed to whatever the paragraph style was at the end of the original chain.
