[Scribus] Editing & re-editing

[Craig Bradney]

Yes.. can u track it down to a certain sequence of events or keystrokes?

Are you trying just del etc on number pad?

I have had that now and then but cant work out a sequence of events to
give to Franz. He hasnt seen it at all. Peter has.

The way to get around, however inconvenient for the moment, is to save,
reopen Scribus and continue working.
