Summary0015783: Ungrouping resized text frames does not retain resized line spacing values
DescriptionWhen ungrouping multiple text frames that were resized while grouped, the line spacing reverts to the original value instead of the new resized value. Note: Font sizes remain the correct resized value.
Steps To Reproduce1. Create two or more text frames with multiple text lines of text.
2. Group the text frames.
3. Resize grouped text frames to be larger or smaller than the original size either by Geometry or dragging shape handles.
4. Ungroup text frames.
5. Note the text does not remain the same in the text boxes.

Detailed Example:
1. Create two text frames with text. Set line spacing 15pt and font size 12pt.
2. Group them.
3. In Geometry, multiply the height and width by 2 for the grouped frames to double the size.
4. Ungroup the frames.
5. Text Properties shows Line Spacing value is 15pt instead of the expected 30pt. Font size correctly shows 24pt.
Additional InformationWhile I'm currently using the latest 1.5.6.svn, I don't remember this ever working correctly in the past couple years I've used Scribus.

This is still an issue in the latest svn: scribus-1.5.6.svn-snapshot-20200827-x64.exe

Hi, this is still an issue in the latest svn. Any chance it can be looked at? I'm no expert, but it seems that whatever calculation Scribus does to the font size field after text boxes are ungrouped also needs to be done to the line spacing value. Instead, Scribus reverts back to the original line space value from before being resized as a group.

Thank you so much for your hard work. This is such a useful program.
