can't edit document

Hi Y'all. I just recently had a problem solved of not being able to open the program beyond the task bar (https://forums.scribus.net/index.php/topic,6240.0.html), which is awesome, but it seems there is a cascade of issues happening. Upon being able to open my document, I am finding that I cannot do anything. I can't click on text boxes to activate or edit them, move them around, or anything else. The "hand" icon moves around, but when I click, nothing happens. It is as though the program is in "read only" mode. Yet, upon using the help function for "read only" nothing came up, and searching the options under Edit and clicking on and off "item action mode" nothing happens either.

Does anyone have any ideas?
