Summary0017851: Saved Custom Colours Set Won't Load
DescriptionI've been trying to create some custom colours sets in Scribus, but I'm having some problems:
In the 'Colours and Fills' menu I'm using the option 'Save Colour Set' to try and save a custom palette I've made. However, when I select the newly create custom colour set on the list of colour sets, the colours won't load or the colour set 'Scribus Small' will load instead.
Steps To Reproduce1. Open Edit > Colours and Fills.
2. Add a couple of new colours.
3. Click 'Save Colour Set' and name the custom Colour Set.
4. Select the new colour set. on the 'Merge Colour Set' drop down menu.
The new colour set won't load.

i did some experiments and compared the custom palettes from scribus 1.7.3 and 1.6.6 and may have found the source of the bug.
with 1.6.6 the file looks like that:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SCRIBUSCOLORS>
    <COLOR NAME="Black" SPACE="CMYK" C="0" M="0" Y="0" K="100"/>
    <COLOR NAME=

and with 1.7.3 like that:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ScribusColors>
    <Color Name="Black" Space="CMYK" C="0" M="0" Y="0" K="100"/>
    <Color Name=„

as soon as i changed ‚ScribusColors‘, ‚Color Name’ and ‚Space’ to capitals the color set became useable in scribus 1.6.6 and 1.7.3.
