This is one of the most often reported bug.

http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2578
http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1458
http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3732
... and many others

Today is however special: it has been reported twice.

The opteam said they "have been working on it [...but...] these bugs 
are not trivial to fix". Not idea about the plan for fixing it, if any.
