Summary0013859: properties not updating until I click the object again
DescriptionWindows 10, 64 bit, build 10586
I've only just tried this version of Scribus and am impressed. While trying it out, I noticed that after a few minutes, when I changed the properties of a vector (a line or shape, etc.), its properties did not update until I clicked the object again. I can't reproduce this right now and it seems to be a fairly minor issue perhaps having to do with refreshing the display of the shape or the document.
Steps To Reproduce- draw a line or shape
- change the Line Width (for example) in Properties
- press Enter or click away

The line or shape doesn't display the new properties until it is clicked/selected again.
Additional InformationThis is a quality new version of some quality software. If you'll excuse the asides, some impressions are that this software is useful for more than desktop publishing (annotating documents, working with PDFs, etc. etc.); the toolbar icons are nice but a little small; and a smooth paintbrush tool might come in handy (the Calligraphic Line is a little quirky). But I'm really impressed. I know that these comments usually belong elsewhere, but I just wanted to mention them briefly while I'm here. Scribus is also a good argument for Qt (I just added Scribus to the list of examples on the Qt Wikipedia page).

Strange. I specified the OS originally. The box may have been erased when I hit the back button and added the "Category" as it asked me to do.

I'm running Windows 10, 64 bit, build 10586. I too was unable to reproduce this. I decided to make a report in case someone else experiences it, and also just as an excuse to engage with the community here.

I am quite impressed with the recent developments in Scribus. So, nice job.

And to add to my side note, as a Windows user who has also used Linux, I have to say that Qt seems to be a lot more polished than GTK+. That may be an open secret by now, but I've had all sorts of problems with GTK+ applications in Windows, whereas it looks like a Qt application can be silky smooth. I notice in a "WikiVS" (whatever that is) comparison between the two, there are various ports of GTK+ applications to Qt, but none in the other direction. At least based on what I've seen, the choice might be Qt vs. Java rather than Qt vs. GTK+.

Anyway, Scribus is a great example of software that works quite well (this minor bug and I'm sure a few others notwithstanding) on various platforms. I suspect this little glitch I reported is Windows-only, but I don't know. I'll see if I can reproduce it again, because I'm not sure how it occurred.

Anyway, thanks for all your efforts.
