Hi Greg,

Thanks for your fast answer. What confuses me is that the "misalignment"
still exists after closing Scribus completely without saving, then
reopening it and reloading the file. Shouldn't that display the correct
alignment? The version you suggested (saving, then reloading) displays
the changes I did in the text, but the text is  still misaligned.

As I'm currently trying to get rid of orphans and widows this is really
keeping me from working!

Gregor
