Crash When Adding Or Editing Rich Text Filter

Bug
1

  • What is your operating system?

Linux Bazzite 44 - Installed and have this issue in the Flatpak as well as the downloadable .tar.gz archive.

  • What is your Shotcut version (see Help > About Shotcut)?

26.4.30

  • Can you repeat the problem? If so, what are the steps?

Add a video track to a project.

Use the “Split at Playhead” feature at two points along the track (can be just a couple seconds apart).

Make sure the play head is NOT positioned between the two points that were just created.

Add the “Rich Text” filter.

Sometimes, Shotcut crashes right here. If it does not:

Click on the clip in the timeline that contains the Rich Text filter WITHOUT first moving the playhead into that section of the track.

ISSUE: Shotcut crashes here (crash log attached). There appears to be some error related to properties in the Rich Text filter being set to null values, along with some other errors just before that.

If any additional details are required, please let me know.
