Summary0011727: Text flow around shapes in trunk
DescriptionScribus 1.4 flows text around a regular rectangle by row. See the 1st screencast (Scribus 1.4.3)
But it seems me Scribus trunk's algorithm is glyph based: The text can wrap because of an ascender or descender. Is this a new feature? This can create difficult situations. See the 2nd screencast (Scribus 1.5).

There is 2 problem:
1. The text can wrap anywhere. The expected behavior is: wrapping only by word boundaries and by hyphenations. (This part affects 1.4.3 and trunk too.)
2. On text wrapping glyphs can deform strongly. This is very bad behavior. See attached document and screenshot. Or you can see in 2nd screencast on the right side. (This 2nd part affects only trunk.)
