Public bug reported:

precise final i386

Wanted to do :

1. the app "openshot" ( installed from precise own repo )  was used to
import a ogv video ( recorded via gtk-recordmydesktop app ).

2.) The feature "add new title" was used to create a svga title , which
I put right before the ogv file in openshots timeline.


Issue :

3.) Playback preview window remains black , there is nothing to see in
the window - then  as soon as the playback slider in the timeline was
moving from the svga file to the ogv, the whole app openshot crashes
with no error messages.


My succesful workaround - replace the version of openshot with newer one :

I installed today the "openshot" app now from the developers own ppa (
ppa:jonoomph/openshot-edge ) , which updates it to v1.4.2 ( v 1.4 is
precises default version )

All issues are solved magically, the very same svga/ogv combo that made
v1.4 crash is now properly playing back  as it should have been all the
time.

So I would suggest to the ubuntu repo maintainer to either fix the bug
in v1.4 or to replace the package with the working v.1.4.2
