In this un-linked text frame, what I recall is an "overflow box" (a small square with an "x" through it) appeared in the lower left hand corner. Also a single text frame had de-linked itself from its neighbors and remained so, orphaned. A new issue arose text frames would not select or be selected only after varying numbers of clicks on them, also the text cursor would appear in them with no selection of that frame, active or not. The next day I reactivated the document (and Scribus 1.5.2) from the Dock and found I had both justification chaos throughout the whole document and sporadic text font reversals back to the old font here and there with no discernible order. I hadn't actually closed the document but removed it to the Dock and hadn't shut down my computer for the day, but left it on sleep mode.
Somewhere at the end of the process before exporting again I experienced two "Signal 11" crashes and noted after this Scribus was behaving erratically but I didn't see anything to react to. They gave me fits, however I got the text font changed by highlighting text frame-by-text frame and saved the document. Recently I wished to make some font changes. The book also provides a definitive guide to desktop publishing using free, open source tools, such as GIMP for photo manipulation.I had completed a document using Scribus 1.5.2 using OS X 10.11.6 on my iMac and exported it fine to a printer via pdf/1a.
