OK, what version?

I've used Scribus 1.3 fairly extensively and it was one of the worst program I've ever had the displeasure of wrangling with. I see they're only up to 1.4.1 and I'm doubtful that much change could have made. For example, have they reworked the bizarro auto-page-number editting system? Does undo work (it failed 80% of the time when I've used it).



Well, I'm on 1.4.x, but I've used versions of it for a while. I don't think page numbers are hard. You just insert a page number on a master page and it they number correctly on all the rest of your pages.

I've never had a problem, even if it's frequently easier to use the keyboard than the mouse for things.

Undo works, but you might want to up the number of steps it saves as undo-able. The default is 20, and you can waste a lot of buffer with minor tweaks.
