This kind of makes me think that harfbuzz could improve its versioning
and dependency tracking, but overall this would have been taken care of
by some other (unrealted) changes in 23.04, so guess all is fine.

BTW, next time please use ubuntu-bug to file the reports, that would
have collected the list of installed packages and somebody else could
have spotted the outdated hurfbuzz in there.

Title:
  Ubuntu 22.10 Scribus 1.5.8 package overflows text causing document
  layouts to not match previous versions

Status in scribus package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  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.
