Description Stefan Naumann 2016-06-20 18:37:23 UTC 
When opening a title with the title-editor (i.e. double-click on the title), KDEnlive will sometimes freeze for some seconds before showing the title-editor. This happens about once in 20 tries, so not all the time. I'm using an i7 3770, so with should not be an issue. One core of the CPU is used to 100% by KDEnlive when it happens, so maybe a spin-lock going on?

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create titles
2. Open them often
3. Open them even more often.

Actual Results:  
About once in 20 tries KDEnlive will freeze, after 10 to 30 seconds it will resume its work

Expected Results:  
No freezing. Just show the title-editor

Great to see that this bug has been fixed now! While not in the crash category, it was annoying nevertheless as I saw it in 1 out of 5 or so title edits and I used titling heavily in my previous projects (seemingly more often than the original reporter).
