I can confirm the faulty behavior.

FYI: As a workaround, you can add paths to the scripter and populate the "Scripter > Scripts" menu.
Then, you can start the script with "Help > Action Search" (or ctrl-/) and start the script by typing parts of its name.

@cbradney : I fear that on line 227 of scriptercore.cpp a not got lost:

https://gitlab.com/scribus/scribus/-/blob/master/scribus/plugins/scriptplugin/scriptercore.cpp?ref_type=heads&blame=1#L227

https://gitlab.com/scribus/scribus/-/commit/2b55fe5f0a86ebbb08800dec0a074ae6c96ceaca?file_path=scribus%2Fplugins%2Fscriptplugin%2Fscriptercore.cpp#line_b82912299_A215

It should be

    if (!QFileInfo::exists(fileName))
    {
        m_recentScripts.removeAll(fileName);
        rebuildRecentScriptsMenu();
        return;
    }
