<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Craig had asked for samples. So I submitted an issue for this on the
mantis tracker and uploaded my sample .sla file. The ID is 0016763.
There is a limit of 2 MB for sample-uploads, which does not feel quite
enough when discussing actual publications. I had tried uploading my
entire document from "collect for output". Then I removed all photos and
captions, but now the bad effect is much less visible on the pages as we
had text mixed with photos.
I would love to get help now on how to proceed, as we are still in the
process of a re-design for our magazine. I need something stable, so
that I can introduce our team to the new templates and start training.
- Shall I ignore version 1.5.8 until the cause is identified (and fixed
on my system or in Scribus)?
- Any specific known reason for not using version 1.5.7 (on Windows and
Linux machines) during 2022?
Thank you,
Martin

Hello!
I think that's what happened here, too. I've started working on a "new"
document and noticed that some texts don't fit into the defined text boxes.
By "new" I mean that I'll always start with the latest issue of that
magazine and change the texts etc.
For the latest issue I used 1.5.7, now I'm using 1.5.8. After reading your
posting I will try to go back to 1.5.7 and see if everything is fine again,
just to exclude used libs (used font didn't change).
If it's simply a matter of running 1.5.7 or 1.5.8 I'll try to narrow the
problem down.
Best regards,
Andreas
