Title: Insert Pages... causes all pages to disappear
Post by: Riquez on February 22, 2026, 11:04:25 AM
When I choose PAGE > Insert.. to add pages to my document (in any configuration, eg: 1 page at end)
The entire work area goes black & no pages are visible.

I can see the new pages in the Arrange Pages tab, but I cant click on them & see the pages. All pages are vanished from main view. No work is possible.
I can save the document, close the app, re-open & the new pages will be there.

Ive tested this on .appImage 1.7.2 & my distros package install 1.6.5

System info:
Scribus version: 1.6.5 & 1.7.2
Distro: Manjaro 26 Gnome 49 (arch based)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 4500U
GPU: Radeon Graphics
Display: Wayland

As far as I know, Wayland is still not really supported.

Some things work, others don't.

If I recall correctly, you need to start Scribus with XWayland...
