Public bug reported:

Hi, I have noticed a big problem with Scribus after upgrading from
Ubuntu 22.04 to 22.10.

Despite Scribus showing the same version number of 1.5.8 (23rd January
2022 build - Kinetic reports it as 1.5.8+dfsg-3build1 in apt-cache
policy), there is a big difference when loading up a document.

I have tested this on both a laptop and a desktop computer, both
computers used to run the older Ubuntu version and documents looked
great.

Now when I open the same documents using 22.10 distro version in Scribus
the text is overspilling or overflowing in every text box, and it looks
like even the line spacing varies slightly too.

This means I now have many large Scribus document files in which the
layout is all messed up.

I've tried reinstalling fonts (I mainly use Ubuntu font) and that
doesn't seem to help.

Can anyone help with a fix so I can open my documents up correctly
please?

-

Steps to recreate are just create a doc in Jammy using Scribus 1.5.8 -
and fill a text box nicely so it ends at the end of the box and fits
well and is tracked etc neatly. Then open that same file in Kinetic's
Scribus 1.5.9 and you'll see the text no longer fits in the box despite
using the same Ubuntu font etc.
