[scribus] Interface issues

[Colin Madwolf]

1. When editing text in a text frame and then clicking on an image
frame I would expect the frame edges to be highlighted so that I can
then move the frame or adjust its?s shape etc., - instead the box is
tinted blue with the move image within frame selected. This
necessitates moving the mouse outside the box and yet two more clicks
to get the frame highlighted - annoying!

i think that i mostly agree with you there...
personally, i don't expect scribus to stay in edit mode when i click on
a different frame.

Makes sense to me too.

I now have another problem - exporting a PDF threw up lots of errors two of which are a bit alarming

'Object not on page' - I have searched as best I can, I cannot find them. Is there anyway to search for an object by its unique identifier and then delete it ??

I have clicked on the name and the document scrolls to a page, but I cannot see anything that is off page or even close to the edge

Any ideas?

Colin

Windows > Outline should show a category 'Free Objects' if there is something not on the page. If you click on the object name in the dialog, the display should take you to it and select it.
If you can't see it, try zooming out as far as you can.
