[Scribus] question about superscripts

[Louis Desjardins]

Hi Team,

Regarding the superscript issue, I wonder wether the actual behaviour of 
the Story Editor is intentionnal or does it qualify as a bug. The fact 
that the superscript actually displays in the Story Editor smaller than 
the regular text even when the superscript is scale to 100% can be (is) 
misleading, as this thread suggests.

I can post a bug, if needed.

Please advice.

Louis

p.s. Hi Cor, I'm glad it did!
