PlatformLinux KDE Plasma 5.19.4OSMageia 8OS VersionMageia 8 alpha 1
Product Version1.5.5 
Summary0016204: New Document dialog, when starting Scribus with no input file, is huge.
DescriptionWhen starting Scribus with no input file, the New Document dialog is displayed with a very large width. The dialog is 6,820 pixels wide and 612 pixels high. That size is set as the minimum size of the dialog, hence the size cannot be reduced.

Once I have canceled or used that initial dialog box, the New Document dialog invoked from the File => New... menu is fine.

Scribus was installed from the official repositories of the Mageia 8 alpha 1 distribution. After trouble shooting, it looks as though this is likely a Scribus issue rather than a Mageia distribution issue.

Here is the Scribus information from the About box:
