Yes, but I still could not type in the dialog box. Meanwhile I could
type anywhere else on my computer, and anywhere else in Scribus.

However, for the present project I needed to create three documents.
The problem occurred with the first two, but when I went to create the
third one the dialog box worked fine. Subsequently I tried creating
several more new documents and I was always able to type the name of
the file in the dialog box. 

So it appears to be "fixed." The only problem is satisfying my
curiosity about what caused it.
