I can NOT reproduce this on a fresh Kubuntu 6.10 (edgy) install, using alternative CD, choosing US and English. My locale is en_US.UTF-8 (the default after installation).
After installing scribus, I can start it and choose "File -> New" menu, then in the "New Document" dialog window, change "Page Size -> Size:" to "Custom", then change the Width: and Height: spin box at will, either by using the up and down arrow buttons, or by just inputing numbers by hand. In this default setup, my "[right click] -> Select Input Method" menu shows "XIM", if I change it to "scim", the whole scribus program freezes. If I start scribus by "QT_IM_MODULE=scim scribus" from terminal, the program will also freeze when I choose "File -> New" menu to bring up the dialog window. However, I assume this is an unrelated bug. -- Qt/SCIM broken (Cannot enter numbers in to spinbox widget) https://launchpad.net/bugs/37711 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
