Bug Description
I cannot paste text from openoffice, firefox, gedit into a text area in scribus. This makes scribus useless for me.
Neither middle click paste, nor ctrl+v or edit/paste work.
This has been confirmed in both hardy and intrepid with both scribus and scribus-ng.

This is expected behavior for the Scribus application, and is being tracked as a bug upstream there.

The issue is that Scribus uses a different method for its clipboard than Open Office or other default Ubuntu products. There currently is no bridge between the clipboards, so it is currently not possible to perform this function. The bug is being worked on upstream.
