Ensure you have downloaded Scribus from the right place. https://sourceforge.net/projects/scribus/files/scribus-devel/1.7.0/ is the location. That installer filename you have is not correct.

Otherwise, I am not sure about the problem you mention. Likely OS related I think.

P.S.: ... and I wrongly deleted his post instead of mine. Sorry.

Just convert a polygon to and image frame
In the main toolbar, select the polygon tool (the star shaped icon) and in the properties panel for it adjust the sides to three. click ok and place on the page.
Make sure it is selected and right click, and in the popup menu select convert to, you will have a short list of options to convert the polygon, one of which is "image frame"

OSX 15, Scribus 1.6.3
As odd as this may sound, I have a need for a triangular image frame. Is there a way to do this?

thanks for any ideas!

I have just installed scribus 1.6.4 (from repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/scribus providing unofficial builds), and it now works just fine.
Solved.
Thanks again for your replies.

Thank you for your replies. Indeed, the red underscore is the non-breaking space, that is why I showed also the editor, but indeed, your right, I can just make the invisible characters appear. Same thing.

When I narrow down the frame, just like you showed, at some point, the word goes, together with the colon, to the next line, as expected, but if I keep narrowing it down, the word goes back up, and the colon stay on the next line. Very strange behavior to me.
I tried and attach an animated gif here, hope it works.

From a.l.e's screenhot it seems normal spaces are shown as a small circle and non-breaking as a dot, but the screenshots from astroboy89 shows a red underscore (which I then assume is not a non-breaking space).

Seems to be working here:

non-breaking-space.gif

Some remarks:

  • No need to use the story editor for editing this type of text: just double click on the text frame and type your text.
  • If you're checking the non breaking spaces, you should activate "View > Text Frames > Show control characters".
  • I guess that you did not insert a non breaking space, but a thin space or a normal space: you need a non breaking space or a narrow non breaking space.

Hello,
Non-breaking space don't work as expected, as you can see on the attached screenshot. (the colon should stay with the word "insécables"). It used to work, though! Am I doing something wrong?
Running Scribus 1.6.1 under Ubuntu 24.04.2

Any advice? Thanks!
