Hi Matthias, I suppose you are running Scribus under *buntu. Unfortunately, the bug you stumbled across is a *buntu issue. The Scribus developers can't fix this. See: http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=3826 and http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Getting_Scribus_on_Ubuntu/Kubuntu_up_and_running HTH Christoph
