I just ran Scribus 1.4 on a large screen, now I can see all the dialog windows in their entirety, and able to click on all the buttons.
But following the tutorial I got, I clicked on the text frame, then F3, created, and selected the paragraph style I want, and the style still is not applied to the text in the frame; I had to select the text in the frame, then press F2, go to the text tab, and adjust the properties there. What did I miss here?
