on mac and linux the property palette does not move  when repetedly called.

this is an old bug which should be solved since a long time... does it 
really still happen on windows?


on mac, if you have deleted you preferences (or it's the first time you 
run scribus) the properties palette will be off screen. its position has 
to be manually fixed as described here:

and maybe pray that my feature request gets implemented:
