Public bug reported:

Put a still picture clip1 at time 0 seconds on track 1; set it to run 5 seconds.
Put a still picture clip2 at time 3 seconds on track 2; set it to run 5 seconds.
Put a 2-second Dissolve transition between then, starting at 3 seconds on the time line.

When played, clip 2 starts to appear at second 3, is fully visible at 5
seconds, but then jumps unpleasantly and then continues.

Close analysis by moving the time cursor with the arrow keys shows that
clip1 -- the lower, weaker clip -- flashes back on the screen for one
frame at second 5.

I have done this a number of times, and the problem is fully replicable.

I have also found -- I think -- a work-around. Immediately after
dropping the transition, change its length to 1.5 seconds and starting
time on the timeline to 3 seconds, so that it is over well before the
end of clip 1. But clip 1 is covered by clip 2. Clip 1 did not now flash
at second 5.

This work-around must be applied immediately on adding the transition.
Once I had a misbehaving clip1, setting the transition to end before the
end of the clip did not fix the problem. Even removing the transition
and inserting the shorter one did not work. I had to completely remove
the clip 1 from the timeline, then drag it back, and then set the
transition to end short of the end.

I originally submitted this bug as a question, and several other users
commented that they are having the same problem. It is definitely a bug,
not just my blunder.

My OS is Ubuntu 10.04 LTS -- Lucid Lynx, the last LTS before the Unity
disaster.  I installed Ubuntu from a CD years ago and have upgraded via
the Internet. The OpenShot version is 1.4.3. I don't know what "melt"
is.
