Public bug reported:

Trying to cut off a small clip from one big recording. The big recording
is ogm file, ripped off a dvd video disk, total length is approximately
1h 38m. The resulting clip should be somewhere 'round 4m 30s according
to initial estimates.

Here are the steps I've taken:
1. Started OpenShot
2. Dropped the big ogm file from Nautilus to Openshot
3. Added the the file to one of the available tracks
4. Positioned myself 24 minutes into the video, approx. 1 minute before the moment I want to get
5. Pressed the play button in order to locate the exact spot where I want to cut the video
6. Surprisingly the video shown was from a moment, I know for a fact to be approx. 6 minutes from beginning.
7. OK, perhaps the timeline is buggy... let's move 10 - 15 minutes ahead... probably I'll be close enough to find the spot I need; so I moved to what the timeline indicates as 38 minutes from beginning and pressed play again to see how far I have moved
9. Even more surprisingly than before what I saw was 30 sec. or so after the previous play attempt
10. OK, in my experience OpenShot has never been too cooperative when I need it to jump to an arbitrary spot on the timeline; so I tried moving back and forth about half a dozen times hoping to make some sense of it

At this point I realized I'm near the end of the track and the timeline
says this is approx. 43 minutes from the beginning. Where the remaining
~55 minutes are supposed to be is beyond me.

Furthermore, the timeline of the track indicates it's at the end of that
tack while the progress bar under the video indicates I'm somewhere near
the middle of the video.

And even more interestingly when I press the play button, the video
shown is from somewhere near the 10th minute into the original
recording.

I have no idea how the heck I managed to crap the program so badly. This
should be a new personal record of mine. I've to the report a bug item
in the help menu, so I hope all needed info should be attached to the
bug report. In addition I'm attaching a screenshot. Please note, the
blurring of the video preview on the screenshot is by me, and not a
problem of the program itself.
