Summary0008381: Scribus crashes when window is closed while still rendering preview mode
DescriptionScribus crashes on exit in the scenario described under "steps to reproduce"
Steps To Reproduce1. Set gs resolution to 300 in application preferences, external tools.
2. Open file talign.sla attached to bug#8380.
3. Activate "Preview Mode" from the view menu.
4. Observe the 72-dpi render frame (the second-to-last image) no longer display
   the full square, just the top corner, beacuse of bug#8379.
5. Deactivate "Preview Mode" from the view menu.
6. Quit scribus, selecting "Close without Saving".

Each time I do this, scribus crashes with a segmentation fault.
TagsNo tags attached.

Trying it on a slightly different file, I was then no longer able to reproduce the crash on the original file, so I did some more investigating ...

Crash seems to occur only when you try to quit scribus by clicking on the
window titlebar's close button (rather than choosing "Quit" from the file menu) and only occurs while the re-rendering is in progress. And, it isn't necessary to deactivate preview mode first.

So, more accurate steps to reproduce:

  3. Activate "Preview Mode"
  4. While rendering is still taking place and the progress bar
     at the bottom of the screen shows less than 100%,
     click on the window title bar's close button.
  5. Select "Close without Saving".

Easy to reproduce, it's not even needed to set gs resolution at 300dpi.

Might be worth changing the summary line (but I don't seem to have permission to do that -- or am I missing something?) to something like:

Scribus crashes when window is closed while still rendering preview mode

since it now seems to have little to do with my original test file or the other bugs I was testing when I ran into it.
