PDF Export via Script buggy under Windows?

Hi everyone,

I am currently writing some convoluted script to create PDF files (can be several hundred) from existing data. My main PC is running Fedora, and there I have no issues. But when I run the scripts on my Windows machine, I get some strange behaviour:

As long as the Scribus window is active, everything seems to be fine. But when I minimize the window, script execution seems to pause and ram usage is shooting up. I experienced several crashes, too, i.e. when the monitor configuration changes (my docking station is doing funky things from time to time...).

On Fedora as well as on Windows, I am running the latest stable version (1.6.5). Does anyone have similar experiences? The strange behaviour is only in Windows, so I suppose this is a bug, where would I be supposed to report it?

Concerning the behavior when minimized on Windows:

Not sure how many of the people working on / with scripts are using Windows...
I am not, and I won't be able to try to reproduce, except if you give a "simple" way to reproduce.

Would you mind, trying to find "simple" reproducible steps so that other people can test if this happens also on their machine?

Concerning the crashes when the resolution changes:

You might want to run Scribus while running in a debugger (like gdb) so that there is a chance to figure out what is happening.

In both cases, as soon as you have more detailed information, you might then want to file a ticket in https://bugs.scribus.net
