They ever fix text selection in Scribus on Windows?

EDIT: Just installed 1.5.5 and nope, they haven't. Still no triple-click line or paragraph selection. Still no double-click-and-drag to select multiple words. Still only Ctrl+double-click to select a whole paragraph.

The same patterns to select text on every other piece of software on my computer don't work in this software designed to publish text.

I have no idea how y'all work with this stuff. GIMP and Scribus put basic functionality behind an obscurity gate, and then folks wonder why so many people have such a negative reaction to how they work.

EDIT: Yeah, I do still subscribe to the ticket filed THIRTEEN YEARS AGO to implement it. https://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=4303

I guess I never noticed because I don't use Windows and wasn't weaned on Adobe products.

Have you tried starting a bounty, or better, a Linux VM?
