Issues with the v1.7.1.svn UI

Hi!

I have been "forced" ;) to use v1.7.x as Gentoo dropped the latest 1.6 from the repository and made 1.7.1.svn (dated 20250929) the only Scribus release in their repository. I hope it's stable enough for my upcoming project starting next week ...

While I'm quite pleased by the new UI there are some issues I consider a bug or need some improvement.

A) scribus-sidebar-missing-background.jpg
The new non-permanent sidebars have no background color set.

B) scribus-sidebar-usability.jpg
1+2) Drop-down if the foreground or background color is clicked. It's *very* hard to recognize that drop-down (1: no border or alternate background color) and its close button (2: x).
3+4) The minimum width isn't set wide enough. Button is cut (3) and there's a scrollbar at the bottom (4).

Regards,
Andreas

Wayland?

P.S.: If it's the case you might need to run Scribus with XWayland...

can you use a flatpack, appimage, or snap version?
