Background: A couple of years ago, I put together an anthology with Scribus. It came out lovely, but there were a few things I'd do differently. So now I've begun work on volume 2 and decided the easiest way to make the tweaks was to start from scratch.
Between the 2 anthologies, my old computer died. But I managed to save the hard drive, and I copied the files over to my new machine--both are Dell Optiplexes.
I'm using Linux Mint KDE 17.1, the same OS as the previous anthology, and Scribus 1.4.3, same (I think) as the previous anthology.
The problem: When I create a new document there are huge gaps between one page (one sheet?) and the next. I've attached a screenshot because I don't even know how to phrase this. Nor could I manage to fit 2 sheets on one screen, the gaps are so big. So what you see is the bottom of page 1 and the tops of pages 2 & 3.
Documents created before the switch to the new Optiplex open up fine, just tiny gaps between sheets. I've been using Scribus for years and never seen anything like this.
Scrolling the mouse between one sheet and the next is hurting my index finger, and this anthology will run about 300 pages.
I cannot fathom what's causing this. Has anyone any ideas?
