This is the most annoying thing for me -- you do this one time in a 
complex text frame (different fonts, sizes, colors) and you really don't 
want to use Story Editor again.

Even something simple, though:

If I open Story Editor, and just change justification on one line. I 
click Save and Exit; then I get a requestor saying, "Do you really want 
to lose all your changes?" At that point, after I have just clicked Save 
and Exit, I don't know what I am supposed to do. I click No and the 
change is made -- this is backwards.

Consider a comparable interchange at the Post Office:

Me: "I would like to send this letter to John Smith."

Postal clerk: "Are you sure you want me to throw this in the trash? -- 
just answer 'Yes' or 'No'."

This is how Scribus is handling this exchange -- if that isn't obtuse, I 
don't know what is.
