Please provide sample document. I did a test and cannot reproduce an issue.

et voilĂ .

the two rectangles on top are the result of the substraction of left and middle.

below a duplicate of the three original shapes...

the undo seems to work now, but the substraction still does not work...

btw, in the attached .sla file, one has to first convert the left text frame into a polygon.
sorry for the mismatch.

It does work, the problem is that your text frame has no fill or stroke color. Once converted to a polygon, that does not change. And in the dialog you have choosen to use colors of left frame... which means in this case no colors.

ok, yes, now i understand what happens...

scribus is showing the bounding box of the item, not its shape...

converting it to a text frame does then show the right shape (as it then shows both the frame border and the bounding box).

it's a bit "surprising" but it's not wrong.
