Sentry Crash Report:

Description Unknown 2016-01-18 18:10:26 UTC 
See video in URL field for example.

His only happens when double-clicking in the "Add clip" dialog window. Selecting the file and clicking "OK" does not do this. 

When I add a clip to the project bin and select the file to open, then double-click it to add the file, the clip monitor automatically starts playing the last clip and was selected before my Add clip import.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select clip in Project Bin to play
2. Go to "Add clip" to choose clip to add to Project Bin
3. Choose file from Open dialog window, then double-click the file to add to Project Bin

Actual Results:  
Clip monitor plays back previous clip selected before adding clip

Expected Results:  
Clip monitor should not playback the previous clip that was selected/highlighted before import.

Tested on kdenlive 15.13.0.r6934.4f775c7-1, running Antergos (Arch) Linux x64, GNOME 3.18.2.

Oh, I think I know what happens. KDE's file dialog select a file with a single click.
So you when you double click, in fact the first click selects the file, closes the dialog, and the second click is passed to the clip monitor and starts playing.

So I think you either have to learn to click only once in the file dialog - or find a way to change KDE's default policy to double click - if you have KDE's systemsettings installed, in the mouse settings, you can switch between single and double click to open files.

Thanks for the suggestions JB. However, when I single-click an item in the "Add clip" window, it merely highlights the file clicked on. It doesn't open it. Double-clicking the file, aside from clicking "OK" after single-clicking to select it, is the only way the file will open up in the Project Bin.

After switching back to Kubuntu, this issue naturally resolved itself. While I think it would be helpful to look into it later, for now, it works for me.
