unremovable text

Hello everyone.

I’m new to shotcut, so this may be an issue on my part, but whenever I try to add text (simple or rich) text that (is not in the textbox) is added to the screen. Admittedly, I added this text before, as a preset, but even when the preset isn’t enabled, the text still shows up.

This issue occurs when I drag the text from the source to a layer, and is only removed once I remove the text entirely. Even removing the filters on the text (& removing the text I’m trying to add) leaves the text on the screen until I remove the text component entirely.

I’m guessing I’ve somehow messed with how the base text is presented? But I have no clue other than that.

If anyone can advise me, I’d really appreciate it.

Thank you.

It is hard to speculate what is happening. Can you share a screenshot of your Shotcut UI when the problem is happening?

Is it possible that you have added a filter to a track or our main output?
