@Frenchwolfie, maybe this is not a bug. Try to add a zero with space after "ébranlé(e)=". Insert > Spaces and Breaks > Zero With Space. I suggest to add this character after every red page number too.

i agree with bubu, you probably need some spaces in your text, otherwise scribus cannot find places where to hyphenate.

and if you don't want to see the space you should indeed use the zero width space...
but it's really unusual to have a list of numbers without any space inbetween...
anyway, scribus will not break on the commas.
and that's probably correct.

Given the lack of spaces in the text, I see no bug here. In the case of the "-," sequence, the "-" character explicitly allows a line break to occur after the character per unicode line break rules. Also characters such as + or = are not characters which enable line breaking to occur by themselves. A character which enable line breaking, such as a space, is needed after such character.

No change required as the shown example clearly shows lack of correctness in French typography.
