[Qgis-developer] Blocking issues?

right, this is what it is reported in the tickets. The problem surfaces
only on win32. I also made a few tests months ago (see the ticket) but
for me as for other users qgis 1.6 seemed to work fine (but maybe it was
a matter of the size/weight of the project).

ok, then can we close the ticket? What about also adding a warning when
a user on win tries to print a large format?


cheers
