As written in the chat, I can confirm the issue:

"""
... and if you set 10 x 10 in the preferences width and height, it then switches to "custom", but the default size in the next "new document" will still be A4.

if you want to have 10 x 10, one first needs to choose the "custom" size and then type the size.
and it still won't survive a restart of scribus.

I think the issue is already solved by this patch, because I'm not able to reproduce it.

Yes Peter, the linked patch has not been merged yet, but it's likely that niteamr has it still in his code.
