This is very old.
Nightly build can be installed as appimages downloaded here :
https://gitlab.com/scribus/scribus/-/jobs

It's 1.5.7 now

text size can come from 3 origins :
- localy applied text size applied using the Property Palette (this should be avoided : prefer using defined named styles)
- applied named character style
- applied named paragraph style : character style can be defined in the character style pane of a defined and named 
paragraph style

It probably means that you had a localt applied text size.
Avoid that.
You can clean-delete the localy applied styles using the little brush button right next to the apply style SELECT (menu).
First select the part of text you want to clean.

PS : It' not clear to me what's the difference betwen paragraph and character style cleaning but that's not an issue : 
they do clean.
