Thanks for confirming it was not an isolated problem I was having. I'll check out the wish list.
Developers:
This should not be a low priority issue.Having worked as a production artist for the past twelve years, I would love to move away from the MAC/Quark/Adobe dominated industry to a free software solution. You can't produce anything you can't see and it's a major waste of time and resources to print out each and every change to see what it actually looks like. By even solving this a little bit you would be making a huge stride in advancing Linux and Scribus into the MAC/Quark/Adobe dominated industry.
Just my thoughts
Joe
