Scribus un-useable Signal 11

Hi.  PLEASE HELP !
We are producing a book with close to 400 pages of mostly text and some B&W images.  Occasionally when we delete a highlighted quote (in a separate text box) Scribus crashes with Signal #11.  I have tried numerous ways to get around this problem - changing text wrap of box, changing text box to polygon moving box to page margin etc. To no avail.
The crash is instigated as soon as you touch the mouse - after deleting or moving the said box.  I believe this has something to do with text flow as we have had this before and got rid of it by adjusting the length of the frame at the end of the text, but it does not work in this case.  Each chapter has its own text (in other words it is not the whole document that flow)- so the text will only flow over 6 pages max, then it is new frames and new text for the next chapter.
kind regards
Colin

Hopefully you are using styles. Try using a different font, and see if that makes a difference.

you will probably need to share the .sla, if you want to get any help...

if you don't want the file to be world readable, you can create a ticket on https://bugs.scribus.net and upload it in a private comment.
then it will only be accessible to the developers.

you will also have to tell us what are the exact steps to trigger the crash.
