Cannot rename tracks in v18.03

Hello,

Under Linux, I cannot rename tracks (V1, V2, A1, A2)
I did rename those tracks with a text editor, opening my project.

What happens under Shotcut :
I can select V1, V2, or A1, A2,
but Shotcut shortcuts are used instead of text input !
for example, if I press the space bar afterV1, it plays the video… instead of inserting a space.
Same behaviour with other letters.

I tried entering text with Ctrl, Alt keys pressed -> it does not work.

What could I check ?

Same thing’s happening in Windows. Tracks cannot be renamed.
Might want to categorize this thread as bug.

This is a regression in the latest version where fixing one bug resulted in a new one. :frowning:

Problem solved with Shotcut-git from Aur (archlinux)
I can rename tracks with V18.01.02 !
This version also enables html overlay filter

Not in version 18.03.02. It’s still a problem.

He is using a build made by someone else against a different version of Qt that is more well-behaved. I had to make a little bit of an ugly workaround for Qt 5.6 that Shotcut is using:

I already started working on an upgrade to Qt 5.9.2, but a couple of builds are not yet working. Work in progress.

I understood that he’s using a different build. But I renamed tracks in V 18.01.02.

And I did this today in the Linux version of 18.01.02.

There was no problem renaming tracks in the previous version of SC.

That was a typo on his part. He meant to write 18.03.0? (depending on date of build) based on Git master.

Got it.

Not with versions above.

Fixed in version 18.03.06.

Using Shotcut 18.09.16 (Qt 5.6.1) under Kunbuntu Linux 18.04

Last week I did a project and renamed all of my my tracks with ease.
Today I started a new project, and I cannot rename the tracks.

As a test, I reloaded the project from last week. Now I cannot rename tracks in that project either.

Solved.

The mysterious user interface.
