Summary0008821: Style editor/manger creeps offscreen
DescriptionThis is a dupe of 0008034, but I think it needs reopening as it will be show-stopping to the average user.

The style editor/manager dialog moves further and further offscreen every time you open it. Eventually it opens entirely offscreen and the only way to escape is Alt + F4. It is impossible to move back into a visible area.

This can be fixed temporarily by manually editing the prefs135.xml file, but this is highly inconvenient.
Steps To ReproduceInstall Scribus 1.3.5.1

Open and close the Style Editor/Manager dialog repeatedly during a few sessions of Scribus (looking at the prefs xml, the x and y offset values appear to change on Scribus exit)
TagsNo tags attached.

Unfortunately that still does not give me a way to reproduce this issue.

Still occurs in development version
[Scribus Version 1.3.6svn
9 January 2010
Build ID: C-*-T-*-C1.8.6-Windows
Using Ghostscript version 8.70]

Exact steps to reproduce:

Open Story Editor
Open Edit Styles...
Close it
Open it again
Rinse and repeat

The dialog will open further and further down the screen.

When I get time I will try installing it on my other XP machine and see if it still occurs there.

I can reproduce now. It happens only when opening style manager from story editor menu. When opening it with F3 shortcut it works as expected.
