Summary0017774: Break with different paragraph style
DescriptionI'm using Scribus 1.7.2 and I'm having a problem when I want to use a different paragraph style directly AFTER a break (column, frame, page, it doesn't matter). For example, for a heading.

I'm using linked text frames.

In the example screenshot, I inserted a column break after the text "column break now". And then I selected a different paragraph style at the very top of the new column. But as you can see in the text editor, the column break and the heading are on the same line, so they get the same paragraph style. Consequently, the previous line already has the heading style applied at the time of the break.

If I insert a new line AFTER the break, I can give the break a normal body text style.

But then my heading is no longer at the very top of the new column; instead, there's a new blank line.
Steps To ReproduceInsert a break and then use a different paragraph style with for example background color
Additional InformationA fix would be for breaks to be in a separate row.

see the screenshot with control characters…

there is another issue related to the fact that the column break uses a text line by itself and is part of the new paragraph:
if you insert a column break, the last line of the column needs to be empty. (with the exception of the invisible column break…)
as i'm not a programmer, i don't know how to deal with it. but a good solution should work without this empty line. (could a column break contain the paragraph break? – then the whole thing would stay at he end of the last line of a paragraph)
