OK so I removed slidersWindowClosed(); to solve 1)

There is some code to investigate to understand those sliders: in 
view.cpp, line 3929 we have
void View::updateSliders()
which does things I do not understand.
What's the bool needSliderWindow use?
Could it be that the Close button on the dialog is like "Hide" and that 
patch from comment 3 in the bug report is right?
If you can explain the above I think we'll know more about the intention 
of the code.

Are you up to look into this? I don't think the developer who coded this 
is still involved in this mailing list so it's up to us to fix this 
properly.
