It's difficult to know exactly where it comes from but i have my idea. We previously had a single style type, which was more or less applying like a caracter style. We now have a clear difference between car and para styles. But our Search/Replace window only have para style replacement Could you confirm it could explain your problem. If yes, i have a beginning of a modifying of this window but actually make Scribus crash. WOuld need help from a core dev, i guess.

Here is a link to the screencast of the error:

It appears to me that the search is failing to accurately find the target style type. As noted before, this worked correctly in an older version of Scribus.
