I've tested the machines several times with several AV software. No 
signs of any malware or similar.

This "strange behaviour" of Scribus I've seen on 1.3.2-Win, 1.3.3.-Win 
and 1.2.1-Debian.

But now it isn't less an actual problem for me. Just some minutes ago I 
installed the 1.3.3.1-Win. Next days I wanna test this build in detail.

There's no software for that installed. No Norton or anything similar.

I don't think that all machines on that I've tested Scribus are really 
poor maintained.
    ;-)

The only task wich's running all the time is Mozilla Thunderbird. And 
Antivir Personal.

But I not noticed any diference with this AVP tool activated or 
deactivated.> d: virus or spyware infested machines

All themes, the service too, and animations are deactivated. Msconfig 
says my computers are "mostly clean". In my home machine there are 512 
MB RAM installed, here at work about 768 and more.

But how there can be such small differences in working with Scribus on a 
P?-800 and i.e. AMD-Sempron-64 @ 2 GHz and similar, indipendent from OS ?
