Description Unknown 2016-07-26 21:45:54 UTC

I think the behavior of the Clip Properties widget is much more congruent with Kdenlive thanks to a recent commit, but there's a bug - at least I think - in the new changes: right-clicking on a clip in the Project Bin, then selecting "Clip Properties" should, I believe, switch the active widget to the Clip Properties widget, displaying the properties of the corresponding clip.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right-click on Video/Image/Sound clip in Project Bin
2. Select "Clip Properties"

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens.

Expected Results:  
Clip Properties widget becomes the active widget, showing the properties of the corresponding clip selected.

Bug discovered while using Kdenlive git master build via ppa:kdenlive/kdenlive-master.

Linux Mint 18 x64 (Ubuntu base), Cinnamon 3.0.7 desktop environment.

KDE Frameworks 5.18.0.

If the clip properties widget is tabbed under the bin widget, it does not pop up. This was implemented some time ago because it feels strange to make the current bin widget "disappear" on double clicking a clip (which does the same as context menu > Clip Properties).

However with the new behavior, maybe it's better to make the properties dialog pop up even if it hides the Bin widget... I think you are right, fixing it right now.

Definitely, completely understand for past configurations and behaviors. I do like the way things are progressing now. I'll test once the updated pops up in the ppa.
