Olivier, with due respect, it's invalid to label this bug report as
Invalid because although i did make a mistake, it wasn't only my
mistake.  openshot made FOUR mistakes as well.

let me try to clarity:

1. i overlaid a video clip on top of a still image on the same track (or the other way around, i can't remember now).  openshot made its first mistake in allowing me to do this.  it should have flagged a user error and/or automatically created a new track so the user can see what's happened. 
2.  openshot's second mistake was to let the underlaid still image be hidden from the user's view.  
3.  i would never have known about the still image had i not left a gap after the end of the video clip as i keep clips well apart until i want them stitched together.  that's the situation in the screenshot i shared with you.  openshot's third mistake was to show the hidden still image in the Preview AFTER the end of the clip, possibly because it automatically positioned the still image there when the overlay occurred.  that's a mistake, because it had positioned an image at a different place in the timeline to where the user thought he wanted it.
4.  openshot's fourth mistake was to not give an indication on the timeline that it had placed the still image at the end of the video clip.  you can see for yourself that at that point, the timeline is empty, yet an image appears in the Preview window.  that's not an indication, it's a ghost!

talking of ghosts, happy christmas :)

  it's strange: the redline is in empty space, yet a picture is showing
  on the preview.

  i had trouble with with sound syncronisation at this point too and
  ended up having to overdub a new soundtrack
