Problem with Text Rich scrolling (black screen)

Bug
,
1

Hello,

I just switched to Shotcut 25.03.29 and found out that HTML scrolling doesn’t exist anymore. So I googled for tutorials to achive the same with Rich Text scrolling, but I can’t get it working.

When I paste the text in the text box, everything is fine, but as soon as I apply the filter, the text is gone and a black window remains. Unfortunately, when I export the video the problem still exists. So it is not just a display issue.

I also checked text colour, because I found many threads were this was the problem.

Duplicate of this report which has already been fixed for the next release.

Sorry, I searched for old topics but didn’t find the link, you posted.
Was a bad coincidence for me to migrate from Shotcut 20 to 25, just to figure out HTML scrolling is deprecated and then figuring out the new solution is broken.

I just went to an older version until the newest release will come out.

Thanks for helping and thanks for this great software!

I have same problem with 25.03.29 on Linux Mint. On previous versions Rich Text filter worked just fine. I tried this version on two different machines with no results. Simply it does not scroll the text. Looking forward to see the bug fix.
And, if I may add: not shure wether this is a Shotcut problem or something on my comp, program can’t reread saved project.
