Hello again, > It seems to be, that the preferences can get in an inconsistent > state, which causes the document window to refuse opening.
I think I can reproduce the problem now. The problem occurs when using two monitors. The preferences seem to store the last window position of the document window. Once you restart Scribus your document window appears where it was when the program was quitted. This works fine as far as my document window stays on the main monitor. Then I move the document window a few pixel out of the main monitor and quit the program. My second monitor is located left side of the main monitor and is larger than my primary MacBook monitor. Then I restart the program and the document window does not appear on the second monitor, but on the main monitor a few pixel located to the right. Now I repeat this cycle of window positioning and program stop and start. The more I move the document window to the left on the second monitor, the more it is positioned to the right on the main monitor after restart. As my second monitor is much wider than my main monitor, the document window vanishes from the screen after a few cycles. So Scribus does draw a document window. It just locates the window outside of the visible area. The only possibility to get it back again, as far as I have figured out, is to delete the preference files.
