[scribus] Line spacing increases when point size reduced

[William Kenny]

Hi a.l.e

Not sure of its the viagra premium edition but it certainly makes the air
turn blue around here :-)

Try this. Open new document and add a text frame with all defaults. On my
system the defualt font is Times New Roman Regular and default point size is
12pt.

Go into Edit Text and paste

Line One
Line two
Line three
Line four

and insert into frame. It should appear with 'normal' line spacing.

Go back into Edit Text, select the text, reduce the point size to 6pt and
insert. The text size is reduced as expected but the line spacing increases
(or at least it does not reduce proportionately to the text size). I can fix
it manually by using the spacing selector, but would obviously prefer if
this was done automatically.

I have not tried it on the Linux version so do not know if behaviour is the
same there.
