Title: Cant find "Edit Text" Box anymore
Post by: Needhelp1 on April 23, 2023, 10:45:44 PM
Hello,

I've been using Scribus 1.4.8 and after I use the "Insert Text Frame" drop down item to insert a text box, and then right click on the box and hit the "Edit Text" option, usually the box opens and I can edit the text.  I'm not sure what I did, but now when I hit the "Edit Text" box nothing happens.  No box opens up.  Any ideas on what I did or should do?

Thank You!!

what operating system ?
what display manager ?

I use fedora 36 with enlightenment 16 and that make the windows a little crazy to keep track of

The story editor might be off the screen, did you have two monitors and not only one?

it might be there, just for some odd reason it is opening behind the main window. Or you may have a corrupted config file.. you can close scribus and rename the config file, then restart scribus and see if the problem persists.
