I can't reproduce this. (Ubuntu 13.04, trunk, Hungarian locale)

I created a new user profile, and couldn't reproduce this problem on it. Then I tried renaming my normal ~/.scribus dir and restarting Scribus, and the problem disappeared.

So either you can close this as invalid, or if you want to know what's causing it I'll let you know when I find out.

(I do run both scribus and scribus-trunk, depending on what I need to do, and it does appear that they share ~/.scribus, so maybe that's causing problems.)

I just wanted to add: I managed to track down what caused the crash. Scribus creates the file ~/.scribus/scribus150.rc, which has an entry at line 543. On my system, this is:

<Hyphenator WordLength="3" AutomaticCheck="0" HyphenCount="2" Automatic="1" Language="en_GB"/>

If I change the 'en_GB' to 'en', I get the crash.

My locale is, in fact, neither en_GB nor en, it's en_AU.
