ale 2020-05-28 16:12 manager ~0047644	it's a general issue, not related to the scribus. - file > import > vector. - click on the top left corner - the rectangle will be in the top left corner.

ale 2020-05-28 16:17 manager ~0047645	the same happens with a pdf created by inkscape (rectangle-02.pdf) and by scribus (rectangle-03.pdf) rectangle-02.pdf (1,165 bytes) rectangle-03.pdf (1,343 bytes)

ale 2020-05-28 16:23 manager ~0047646	opening the svg or pdf files (instead of file > import gives the right result.

ale 2020-05-28 16:58 manager ~0047647	according to jean, it seems that the issue is related to the fact that "import" is grouping the shapes.
