Tested also in Scribus 1.5.3 svn (Win_20161211), and same result.

Changes to Palettes and UI in general will probably be the focus of 1.5.4 release, so for now there is no plan to spend resources there at least till 1.5.3 with stable CTL is released.

Oh, thanks very much.
Excuse me, what does it means CTL?

CTL is the acronym of Complex Text Layout.
This allows users that use non latin text based languages to use Scribus and have correct text ligatures, diacritics, etc.

As you might imagine, the positioning of characters in Scribus is quite critical and we are in a phase were the priority is to fix issues introduced with the new code merge.

Thanks Firash for your explain. Thanks so much.
And,... Amazing work to all developers!

Palettes and UI in general need to be changed in the future, so if you have suggestions or find any other issues please report them as you are doing now.

Even if they are not fixed immediately those report are a hint to devs on what and how Scribus could be improved.

@Nauty, could you check if 0016386 solves the problem?

@bubu, I saw your animated GIF in 0016386 issue.

I have just tested it on "scribus-1.5.7.svn-snapshot-20201207-x64" release on Win7 64bit but it doesn't solve the problem. That issue occur also for the "Arrange Pages" palette.

Could it be I have to delete any preset?

Hi @Nauty, I have written probably too early. Sorry. The fix is committed on 2020-12-14: https://www.scribus.net/websvn/revision.php?repname=Scribus&path=%2Ftrunk%2FScribus%2F&rev=24325&peg=24325 For testing if you use Windows or Mac, you have to wait for next dev. snapshot. I'm not a core developer, I don't know when will appear a new snapshot on SourceForge. On linux you can download automatic builds form Gitlab for example: https://gitlab.com/scribus/scribus/-/pipelines/ Please do not delete your presets or settings. It does not depend on saved Scribus settings.

The height of Manage Masterpages palette depends on Arrange Pages height. It is the same palette. I attached a screenshot which shows the current minimum height and width of these panels. Does it fit your suggestion?

The common height and with for dock palettes is 220×240px. The width can follow this guide. But for height we must use a little bit bigger value. Arrange Pages palette has more controls and requires more space, I think this is the minimum height which makes sense.

Thanks for the link about linux builds. I just tested the "Scribus-nightly-x86_64.AppImage" (20201215_artifacts) on UbuntuStudio_16.04_LTS. It seems good to me! When the snapshot for Windows will come out I will test again for confirm.
Thanks!

Thanks @bubu!
I have just tested the "scribus-1.5.7.svn-snapshot-20210320-x64" release on Win7-64bit.
Now I can resize "Manage Masterpages" and "Arrange Pages" palettes very well.
If you want you can close the ticket. Thank you so much!
