Summary0010012: Many duplicates of paragraph styles "Copy of Style (nnn)"
DescriptionEvery few weeks I find my Style Manager getting filled up with "Copy of Style (xxx)" entries.

Because this requires scrolling down increasing number of screen to get to the style I want to select, productivity slows down until finally I take a break and delete / replace the duplicates with one single entry. Then, a few weeks later the duplicates start appearing again.
Steps To ReproduceI do not understand what situation that causes this to happen. As I am just about finished with my book (200+ pages), I am *not* doing a lot of text copying at this point, mainly minor editing changes.

What action in Scribus causes it to make these copies?
Additional InformationAlthough I have set the priority for this item to "Low", I am getting sensitive to any additional memory use that is not required.

(I appear to have hit an architectural memory limit with this version and / or Windows itself. Earlier today I struggled with the "JPEG library error - Application transferred too few scanlines" bug reported in https://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=8760 even though my system has 8GB of memory)
TagsNo tags attached.

is the svn version up to date?

as far as i know, the copy of copy of copy of style bug should be fixed in the current svn...

but there may be some more issues hidden somewhere...

You could retry the issue with rc4.. http://sourceforge.net/projects/scribus/files/scribus-devel/1.4.0.rc4/

I'm using 1.4.0rc3.

I am willing to try rc4 to see if the problem reoccurs. Thing is, I don't know what actions I took in the first place to create all of the duplicates.

Is there any record of actions causing the bug that might point me to something I can reproduce?

We are on the final stages of the book, and probably won't be doing very much editing from now on.

I've downloaded and installed rc4.

I'll use it going forward, and let you know if I see the problem arise again.

Have not seen issue appear with 1.4.0.rc4, so case can be closed.

Thanks!
