I also have this issue. How can I view objects/frames that cause this problem? It happens on pages 58, 59. I use a Mac Studio 2023, with M2 Apple Max, Tahoe 26.5.2, Scribus 1.6.6 Thank you. -TNGEO

MacOS / 1.6.6 Unstable on my Mac

Last post by TNGEO - July 06, 2026, 05:05:30 PM

I updated to Scribus 1.6.6 on my mac studio (Tahoe 26), and find it unstable. I closed the program, installed it, rebooted my computer. Now, when I paste images in a text box the whole page goes blank, as do following pages. They come back in flitty ways, not conducive to document development and editing. Is there a bug fix for this yet? If not, I will try to reinstall the previous version.

Oh! I just found the columns property. It's in Text Properties, not Properties.

Beginner Talk / [SOLVED] Text Frame Columns

Last post by briheart - July 03, 2026, 12:48:18 AM

I'm trying to figure out how to edit the number of columns in a text frame. Everywhere I've looked, people say to go to the properties of the text frame, but I'm not seeing any way to edit the number of columns there.

I just downloaded 1.6.6, so it can't be that I need to update.

Here's a screenshot of what I see in the properties window.

Hard to say, why it was not working for you.

Did the issue happen with 1.7?

What you can do:

Start working on a Scribus sample document, watch if it automatically saves the document, kill it after a few minutes without saving and see if the work has indeed being saved.

Check also if the "rescue" documents have been created and if they can be opened.

And report your findings : - )

The first rule of Scribus is not to use the Story Editor (if you don't really really really need it for the specific task).

Then, you're likely picking the font for the text display in the Story Editor, rather than setting the font the text will be using in the frame.

Did a quick test here and got the italic font showing in the document after reloading.

Now let me make sure I understand what you are asking about. The italics are not showing in the document? or the italics are not shown in the story editor? If the later, it's because scribus uses one font and style that is set just for the story editor.

Let us know which it is.

Text and Typography / The italic font is not showing

Last post by Temporal - July 01, 2026, 02:51:37 PM

This is really confusing me. I am creating a document using EB Garamond Regular. I have just edited a section to italicise names of film, etc., changing those terms to EB Garamond Italic in story editor mode. When I save and close, the text appears without any italics. I've checked a few times now and the relevant terms are still showing as EB Garamond Italic in story mode. Much confused!!

I can see the issue with the current code and I could not find any rational reason for it.


Would you mind opening a ticket on https://bugs.scribus.net ?

Can you share a sample .sla file that shows the issue?

Tables have been redone very recently and we might be able to fix this or it has even be fixed already...

OK, here is the .sla that I'm having problems with: problem.sla

And this is what it looks like to me: problem.png
