Standard 3 Title update error if missing line 1

Open tlvu opened this issue 2 weeks ago • 2 comments

Describe the bug

When a "Standard 3" is missing line 1 we have many update problem:

  • if both line 1 and line 3 are missing, line 2 is mutable (unable to update).

  • if only line 1 is missing, update to line 3 becomes line 2, and update to line 2 is lost.

If line 1 is present and line 3 is missing, update to both line 1 and line 2 works as expected.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Add a "Standard 3" title and empty the content of line 1
  2. Save
  3. Try to edit line 2 and line 3
  4. Observe the error

Expected behavior

"Standard 3" should work as expected even if some line are missing.

Hello @tlvu. I am able to replicate this issue/bug. I am running Windows 11 Pro using OpenShot v3.4.0-Release-Candidate. I also tested on Ubuntu 25.10 with the same results.

I will submit this in the queue but most likely will be a while before it is fixed as it is going to be a low priority due to numerous and more serious bugs already in the queue.

If you have Inkscape or any other advanced text editor that you are familiare with, feel free to integrate that with OpenShot and then you can leverage the "Use Advanced Editor" option to manage a static title.
