Bug ID: 360877
Summary: Various UI issues when editing Title Clip
Product: kdenlive
Version: unspecified
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: User Interface
Assignee: j...@kdenlive.org
Reporter: nospam...@gmail.com
When editing existing text in a title clip, I'm running into various issues
that I wasn't seeing in 0.9.10. Here are the issues (all seen using kdenlive
version 4:16.07.70+git20160321.1e66f4b5-0ubuntu0~sunab~wily1). Hopefully it's
enough detail to reproduce locally:
- Clicking one time in a text area doesn't put the focus into the text area (or
put up an editing cursor). If you double-click in the text area, it highlights
the word that the cursor is on, so that any typing erases the word and replaces
it with what's typed. It makes it virtually impossible to insert text into an
existing text area. What I'd expect is that a single-click would select the
text box, a double-click would put the text cursor at the location of the arrow
cursor, allowing me to type at that point into the text, and a triple-click
would highlight the word under the cursor.
- Sometimes (but not always), when I double-click into an existing text area
and start typing, the screen ends up with a garbled text area - the text that I
type ends up as a set of thick vertical lines in the highlighted area of the
text box. But once the screen refreshes, the text seems to be as expected.
See attachment for an example.
- The vertical cursor that indicates where text will be inserted is often not
visible when I'm in "insert text" mode. If I type, characters will appear, but
often not where I expect them. The cursor needs to be more visible, and needs
to be in an outline format in case the I'm working on top of black background.
- The dashed line text box border seems to be much less visible on the 16.04
beta release than it was with 0.9.10. In fact, at times only part of the
border is visible (see attached screenshot showing a 0.9.10 text box above a
16.04 text box). In addition, clicking on the various text box positioning
icons not only moves the text box, but changes which borders are visible.
- The lack of an "undo" capability often leads to frustration, as I will click
once in a text area and hit the [Backspace] key, expecting the cursor to move
back one space. Instead the entire text box is deleted, with no way to recover
it.
I realize that some of these issues existed in the 0.9.10 version, but I'm
hoping that they can be cleaned up for the 16.04 release.
Thanks for anything you can do!
