[3.5.0] [ChromeOS] More Timeline Visual Bugs x2 (Daily Build fixed already?) #5987
Description
psa on the latest daily build I did 3 minutes of continuously dragging clips onto the timeline and haven't managed to trigger these bugs, so they may have already been fixed, but i am putting this info out here anyway. basically when dragging a clip onto a timeline there is supposed to be a preview, but 1 it sometimes does not show up while i am dragging, and 2 it sometimes does not go away after i stop dragging.
Bug 1 description
sometimes dragging a clip onto the timeline does not let me preview the clip as a clip on the timeline. I see the project file thumbnail next to my mouse and that's it. I don't see the clip until I release my mouse button.
Steps to reproduce the behavior: (does not 100% happen)
- drag a project file onto the timeline
- observe that there is no preview of the new clip
Expected behavior:
i get to see where the clip will be before i release the mouse button
Bug 2 description
sometimes dragging a clip onto timeline results in a "phantom clip" being placed on top of the newly created clip. you know when a "phantom clip" shows up when the new clip is not automatically selected when added to the timeline. this thing is probably the preview i was looking for under Bug 1, but for some reason it does not always disappear after I release my mouse button. the "phantom clip" is visually layered on top of the normal clip that has just been successfully created, and the "phantom clip" is completely pass-through to mouse clicks and never inherits keyframes from the normal clip, but is immobile, always shows up above normal clips and is therefore still a nuisance, and won't disappear until I try to drag another project file onto the timeline again.
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- drag a project file onto the timeline
- observe that the new clip is not automatically selected
- try to move the new clip by dragging or using a "Remove Gap" operation (both will reveal the next part)
- observe that there is a normal clip underneath the "phantom clip" that functions normally as a clip. you cannot interact with the "phantom clip" at all but it is still there, always blocking its area on the track
- dragging another project file onto the timeline should cause OpenShot to realise that "phantom clip" is broken and hence remove it
Expected behavior:
none of this should be happening, like can OpenShot please just be normal. I know 3.5.0 is trying to implement the new timeline system everywhere but it is still rough around the edges. I've found 3 bugs in 5 minutes without having done any editing work ;-;
here is a recording showing both bugs on 3.5.0 official
visual.2.webm
System Details:
- OpenShot Version: 3.5.0 broken but latest v3.5.0-dev-daily-15710-d8d577bf-48516e0b probably fixed
- Operating System / Distro: ChromeOS (145.0.7632.216) Linux (Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)) these are the latest versions
Log Files:
they look completely normal tbh, and the "phantom clip" is not a real functional clip anyway so i would not expect it to be recorded
Exception / Stacktrace:
this is not a crash
