Title: Left justified paragraph issue
Post by: sbungay on April 25, 2025, 06:42:30 PM
I have an issue where, with a single line paragraph that is left justified, periods/full-stops are appearing at the beginning of the sentence. So for example...

Copyright 2054 by XYZ Inc.

Will come up as

.Copyright 2054 by XYZ Inc

If I rewrite the paragraph and add a character, like this...

Copyright 2054 XYZ Inc. x

Then it comes out correct, and if I tell the system to make that character the same colour as the paper then it 'looks' ok, but that's not a fix that's a kludge, and if you send a document off to be printed and it has a white character in it that character WILL be printed.

Has this issue ever come up before?

the only thing close to this is tabulators. but they dont have the weird editing issue that you are experiencing.

in this text your are using it is imported from a file? or typed in directly? can we see this text? would like to analyze it.

What os and version re you using? and what version of scribus?
