Patch | |||||
|
Considering that this bug is open for over 5 years and according to the roadmap will not be fixed within the next 2 years, maybe it would be best to just remove the functionality from the UI. |
|
This seems to be broken still... (testing using current 1.5.9+svn) |
|
after having read https://forums.scribus.net/index.php/topic,4813.msg22219.html i wanted to open a new ticket but then thought it might be good to do a quick search before. and i wonder why i have never used this feature... |
|
Just tried with v1.6.1 in 2024 The "keep together paragraph", the "keep with next", the "widows/orphans" does not seem to work to prevent ugly column breaks. This "not-feature" seems quite long standing. It is well past 10th aniversary. |
|
If I set the widow control to 1 line, shouldn't that prevent a single word from appearing at the top of a column, or could other factors influence this? |
|
Setting "widows/orphans control" to "1" would allow for "one" line to be printed before/after a break. Setting it to "3" would at least require three lines before/past a break. Checking "keep together" should prevent breaking the paragraph at a page or column border. The entire paragraph is either here or there, but it must not be split inbetween. Checking "keep with next" should never separate the two paragraphs at the border. Both of them might still get split according to their own widow/orphan setting, but the inter-paragraph connection must not be split. Usually done with headings that have to move together with their following paragraph. This obviously does not work as expected. |
