Yep, Scribus is. That's what makes it different to P. :-)

Oh, we know it's well hidden at that place, no doubt about that.
We even found out that most newbies actually *look* at the shape
tab and still say it's not there; they only find it on second look.
So it's not only choosing the wrong tab, the Scribus developers
did some real magic to hide it very well :-)
(that was before my time, I too had to look twice to find it)

That option is very new, so I guess that's the reason it's not on by
default.

My talking, Scribus is still lightyears from the ease of use how PageMaker
handles
linked text. But it will go there, no worrries.
