ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This is not an issue in 24.2.x versions of the software. i was able to continue
my project by downgrading. I am attaching an example image file -- one that
breaks the software. Interestingly, files made with scanners didn't seem to
cause the issue, but files with exif data from a digital camera did, but not in
every case. I attempted to open an affected jpg file in GIMP, resize it, and
save it as a .png file, and the software still crashed.
I'm not sure if this affects KDE / Linux builds. I will install it on my laptop
tomorrow and update
I observed this in Windows 10 on a Dell Optiplex 8th gen micro-desktop and on
Windows 11 on an HP Probook with an i5 6200u. Both systems are using onboard
graphics, boot form M.2 SSDs, and have 16 GB RAM. Both systems exhibited the
behavior on newly-created kdenlive files, and on both systems, the issue was
resolved by downgrading to the 24.2.x version of the software.
Sometimes - maybe 1 in 5 times, I would get a blank dialogue box with "Warning"
in the title bar.
