When editing the frame shape with mouse, CTRL works to keep the ratio, but SHIFT doesn't force the square shape either.

... does the patch solve the issue?

i've tried to apply it, but i don't see any change in the behavior of scribus...

For me behaviour of mouse resizing with key modifiers should work as in other DTP apps (at least as in Inkscape), so:
CTRL - keep ratio
SHIFT - resize in two directions from centre of item

(BTW - in Gimp they work exactly vice versa, but I think it is Gimp problem)

For drawing new items CTRL modifier force square shape, but not while resizing existing not-square items.

@cezary: what you describe is how inkscape works... seems sensible to me...

Cezary, this was a ctrl+shift click in create mode. It would create the item to the available space.

craig, filling the available space is shif+ click... not ctrl+shift...

imo, the most important missing feature is ctrl+click to create "square" shapes...

personally, i don't really see a big interest in shift click for drawing from the center, but i think that this could also be implemented, by checking if the mouse is moving after the shift+click (if does not move, fill the available space, otherwise draw from space)

@ale: drawing from centre (with SHIFT) is most useful when you draw circles, ellipses and stars!!!

r17393 now has control creation for squared frames.. not sure if we want to add the shift or not...
