Summary0015352: Scribus looses color setting of variable text marks
DescriptionWhen color is applied to a Variable Text Mark on a master page the document will show the text with the correct color. However after the document is saved and closed the color returns to black upon opening again the document file.
Steps To ReproduceCreate a new document

Add a color, name it Test color

Go to Edit Master pages

Add a text frame in the Normal master page and insert a new variable text mark in the text frame

Type any text in the Text to insert field and click on the OK button

Do a Select All in the text frame, this will select the text of the mark

Open the text properties window and change the color of the text to the newly created Test color

Close the Text properties window, your text should now be the color of Test color

Click on End edit to return to your document, you should see a text frame with the appropriate text and the color you applied

Close and save the document

Now open the document you just saved

The color is gone

The problem is not limited to master pages, the issue also occurs when the variable mark is placed on a standard page.
