[Scribus] Setting leading

[Ed Keith]

Thank you very much for your reply. 

I am using Version 1.3.3.1 9 April 2006 Build ID:
C-*-T-*-A-Windows on Windows XP home edition.

Using your help I found the button with the tool tip
"Click to select the line spacing mode" on the edit
style dialog. But when I click on it nothing happens.
Is this a known issue?
