| Summary | 0002673: Linking and unlinking of automatically created text frames doesn't work correctly | ||||
| Description | If text frames are created automatically, they can't be unlinked and later be relinked. It is necessary to delete an existing frame an draw a new one. This also happens in 1.2.3/1.24cvs. If this new frame is unlinked again and one tries to link anew, Scribus prints an error "You are trying to link to a filled frame, or a frame to itself". The latter doesn't happen in 1.2.3/1.2.4cvs. | ||||

The problem also occurs between manually created text frames. |
|
|
If this is the case then the issue is that you have not deselected the link frames mode. Right now, it stays on until you turn it off, check your toolbar. |
|
|
No, I did deselect. Try yourself: Create two frames on an empty page. Link, unlink and try to relink. |
|
|
Yep,works fine. |
|
|
tested manually created frames and auto frames. This works fine for me and seems a vast improvement to 1.2.x |
|
|
I have tested with 1.3.1. Maybe it doesn't appear in 1.3.2cvs. As for manually created frames, the issue seems to show up if there were previously automatically created frames on the page. Will try to find a safe way to reproduce it. |
|
|
OK, I didn't find a safe way to reproduce it. Sometimes it happens, sometimes not. Here is what I did: 1. Create a new doc with automatical text frames (2 pages) 2. Unlink text frames 3. Insert sample text 4. Create a new text frame somewhere on the pages 5. Link from frame 1 to the new one 6. Unlink 7. Delete new frame 8. Select first frame and try to link with the automatically created on page 2 -> Message appears as above In cases the error shows up, I also noticed some other weird behaviour: 1. Try to right-click a selected text frame in linking mode, and you'll get the message mentioned above. 2. As long as in linking/unlinking mode, the "cross" cursor is active, even for file operations. This is unpleasant and probably confusing. |
|
|
This seems a safe way to reproduce the error with automatically created text frames (at least on my machine): 1. Create a new doc with automatic text frames (2 pages) 2. Insert sample text that flows from one frame to another 3. Unlink 4. Select first frame 5. Click on "Link text frames" icon -> Message appears as described |
|
|
I've just tested the steps 1-5 with 1.3.3.1 and cannot confirm this behaviour. However, the message, you've referred to, will appear if you: 6. click back on the first frame just after relinking, instead of clicking beside the frame. This is probably not right, because, to my understanding, the cursor should not be in the "linking" mode at this point anymore. |
|
|
Add step 6 to my list and try again if it happens: 6) Klick an empty frame to link to. |
|
|
christoph, i did it. Relinking works here and the text flows back into the 2nd frame. Only the additional click on the 1st frame causes this message to pop up. |
|
|
Re-linking is impossible here. I only get the error message. |
|
|
I don't know, if this is of any importance, but my version of QT is 3.3.6 |
|
|
New info: If I unlink the 2nd frame from the 3rd, I can re-link No. 1 to No. 2. |
|
|
... but it's impossible to re-link No. 2 and No. 3. So, maybe it's really the same as 1592? Unlinked auto-frames are perhaps treated as "new" or single frames? |
|
|
I am having this problem repeatedly on 1.3.3.3. I have multiple frames that I cannot link to each other. These are all manually created frames. It isn't even a matter of unlinking. I can create a new frame, and then be unable to link to it. Pretty much a showstopper. |

This bug is still in Build ID: C-*-T-*-C1.8.6-Windows (1.3.6svn). I tried to add a chapter to an existing one by Page===>Import, but a) the automatic text frames in the imported pages are broken so that text does not flow past the first (imported) page, and b) it is virtually impossible to solve the problem manually (see related bugs). Reverting to manually linked frames doesn't seem to help much. This is quite a major problem for people assembling longer documents. |
