Hello,
Fairly new to Scribus and am using Scribus 1.5.4 on Windows 7.
Using File -> New from template I select the Books -> Lulu and Creatspace... template.
I would like to use a different page size for my book so using File -> Document Setup I change the page Width to 11 inches and the Orientation to Landscape. I then check off the "apply changes to all pages" and "apply changes to master pages" options and select "OK"
So now I have the new page size but I can see that the page headings (author and title), page footer (page #) and text boxes all still have their original size - which makes sense as those are objects.
So I use Edit -> Master Pages to edit the size of each of the text frames for each master page so that they all match the new page dimensions. Works fine.
However when I go back into the document, while the page headers and footers appear as I expect them to, the main text frame is still showing in its original size and aspect ratio. Going back into the Master Pages, the text frames do indeed reflect the new dimensions.
Also if I insert new pages and then do a Apply Master Page, the new page is completely good.
My question is why aren't the new dimensions for the main body text frames updated in the document to match the new master page layout - while the page header and footers are updated.
Attached is a screenshot that illustrates the problem.
