I can confirm this in 1.3.3.9 on Linux.

In 1.3.3.x a smart hyphen is not a char of its own but a property of the preceding char. Smart hyphens are removed with Extras->Dehyphenate text.

afaict, scribus 1.5 behaves as requested.

but: it would probably be better to change the current behavior:

- when moving around with the arrows or the mouse, it should not be possible to put the cursor between the letter and the soft hyphen following it.
- when backspacing, the soft hyphen and the letter preceding should only be deleted in two times, when the soft hyphen is visible. otherwise, both should be removed in one move.

ah, it should not be possible either to add multiple soft hyphens one after the other...

Cezary once had a patch to enable to prevent a hyphen on a specific word : user had to insert a conditionnal hyphen at the very begining of the word, as if it was a first glyph.

When adding such a dehyphenating sign on a word, it should delete all conditional hyphens in it.
