[scribus] Imported page loses its text frame style

[Christophe Amerijckx]

Hi Greg,

Thanks for your time and trials.

However, I confirm I still have a problem. This might be a corner case. 
The text in the documents frames are coming from OpenOffice documents 
imported using GetText.

Using the drop down menus as you were suggesting only shows the style of 
the first text frame, not the style of the other one. So all the style 
where not imported.

I'll send you a testcase (with a Python script to execute the same 
commands) by separate email. Hope you'll find some time to test it and 
confirm you have the same issue. I' really don't see what is wrong.

Thanks.

Christophe
