| Summary | 0013594: Text Boxes uneditable from the keyboard | ||||
| Description | I am drafting a (currently) 7 page document in Scribus (based off of a document I created in InDesign last year ... I am completely recreating it from scratch, however). I started using the scrapbook feature (not sure if this is related). Now, certain text boxes are completely uneditable FROM THE KEYBOARD - whether I double-click and try and type, or open the Story Editor and try to type. I CAN, however, typically paste existing text into them. They are: - Not locked - Not in another layer (only 1 layer) - Not in a group The worst problem is, every new text box I create is similarly uneditable. I have: - upgraded to Scribus 1.4.3 from the Scribus PPA repository - closed and re-opened the document - closed and re-opened Scribus - rebooted the computer Any ideas, I need to get this document out ASAP! Thanks for the (otherwise) great program, and thanks for the help! | ||||

Quick update - after banging my head over this all last night, and scouring all the help documents, forums, etc., and finally posting this issue ... I think the issue was a conflict in my styles. Apparently there was a conflict (I still haven't figured out exactly what) between my paragraph style (and the character style specified in it - which I had attempted to restore to unspecified, but had previously specified some things in) and the character style I was attempting to apply. When I adjusted the paragraph style's character style to be based off of the character style I was trying to apply, the text became editable again. Whenever I paste in a new piece from the Scrapbook, it 'loses' the style - and often text boxes are uneditable - until I apply the proper styles again. Not sure if this is a quirk, or my limitations, or ... Anyway, it works again. Thanks! |

Interesting phenomena. Glad you figured it out. If you can recreate again, please let us know. FYI, 1.4.5 is the most up to date stable version |

OP, please deliver |
|
|
Deliver? Sorry, I'm not exactly sure what you mean. |
|
|
Devs, what do we do about this ticket? |
|
|
I'm sorry - this is my first bug report, so I'm not exactly sure how everything works. I'd close it or whatever needs to be done, but I don't see a way to. It does still seem to be a minor bug, but not a terribly important one. |

SRDC, no worries. Thanks for the ticket and apologies on the 'deliver' comment, I thought this was another ticket. You did well with your report. I'm just checking with the developers to see what they advise on how to proceed. |
