I just started having a bit of a crash problem in 1.5.3, I created a 44 page phone book (5.5x8.5)
I use a couple styles Bold centered Titles and listings, nothing fancy
Yesterday Scribus started crashing when ever I would move a line in the listings either up or down
I was able to save finally after removing styles from selected text the re-applying style, today I am just crashing every time I save after dropping a line down
any ideas on how to fix or what is happen?
I just deleted all styles and scribus no longer crashes
if you still have the old file, can you please upload it to https://bugs.scribus.net with "as exact as possible" instructions to reproduce the crash?
ciao
a.l.e
will do, thanks
OOpsi, back to crashing again, loaded 1.5.2 and got text in, but now gives signal #11 and crashes on load into 1.5.3
hard to say anything without being able to see the document...
I did upload document to the Bug site, this has been interesting, went back to 1.5.2 worked for a bit then another type of error #6, tried 1.5.4 daily, worked like a champ, no crashes, had to re format a few things, painful but tolerable, this morning I tried the latest file made in 1.5.4 in 1.5.3 App-image and it work perfectly (wonder if the appimage was the issue?)
my file is a 44 page local (small town) phone book, can I post it here?

and what does trigger the crash?
any clue?
somehow i have the feeling that the cause might be related to the available memory...
closing gaps in lines or adding a line, then hitting save
the file takes some time to load... so it could indeed be a memory issue (which would mean that you don't have enough RAM in your computer).
i've tried to add and remove a few lines and save the file and nothing happened.
in my case i don't have the original fonts nor the images, so my file might be lighter...
and i might have more RAM.
on a side note: you might want to learn about right aligned tabulator and "filling" them with dots...
I have 16 gigs ram, I used to use the tabulator with dots, it really messed up so I dropped it, had styles but they seemed to cause the crashing...
thanks for checking, after it worked with 1.5.4 I went back to 1.5.3 and it all works again, very odd
