Summary0011682: Wrong managment of Variable Text Marks
DescriptionThe voices in the Marks Manager do not correspond to the ones which are in the text
Steps To Reproduce1) Create a new document

2) Add a text frame

3) Fill it with sample text

4) Now open Edit -> Marks...

5) Choose an area in the text to try the following steps easily

6) Insert -> Marks -> Variable Text

7) Name the Label: TEST
   Text to insert: TESTING (whatever you want, but with capital letters is easier to identify)

8) Now in the Marks Manager you can see that it is appeared a new voice (Variable Text -> TEST)

9) Now choose another area in the text and add another time the same Variable Text Mark

10) In the Marks Manager there is just one voice (not 2)

11) Then, if you try to delete from the text one of the 2 Variable Text marks just insered, both of them will be deleted.

12) At this point, if you press CTRL+Z to go back, in the Mark Manager you can see that now there are 2 voices

13) If you continue to repeate the last 2 step (11, 12), everytime there will be a new voice.

14) When you are in this situation and you try to delete the voices from the Marks Manager, just the last one will affect the text removing the 2 Marks with Variable Text. If you delete the previous ones nothing will happend except that the voice will be removed.

If i read well your report, this happens with marks having the same name, correct ?

Basically, Scribus should prevent creating 2 marks with the same name, isnt ?

 JLuc, what I want is that Variable Text marks can be managed as single items, so for example Step 11 should delete only the chosen Variable Text mark, not all as a single element.
(If I manage to upload a mockup I'll upload it here)
This bug specifically is focused on the potential infinite list of non-existing marks in the Marks Manager.
As a consequence it would be nice to find a solution to locate all the present Variable Text marks in the Text (if you double-click on a Variable Text mark (which have the same Label) in the Marks manager only the first one will be located).

 Short answer for JLuc:

first question: yes
second question: no, but manage them as I suggest in the note/mockup (you can insert the same Variable Text mark more times, but also have the ability to locate them as single items. At the moment the behavior of Scribus is not user-friendly)
