Description rh- 2015-07-10 01:58:55 UTC
version 0.9.10 
When creating a title clip with special character (ä / ü / ö, likely others) the title disappears from the render.

They are shown correctly in the project monitor.
Create a title clip with a special character

add to timeline, preview in project monitor
-> should work as expected

render to file
-> title clip disappeared

Also if y try to use a title template happens the same

Thankx for your help. As y am an german y need the specal characters.

Can you please create a simple Kdenlive project with only one title clip that has this problem and attach the .kdenlive project file here ?

File to reproduce disappearing characters bug

I can reproduce this issue with Kdenlive 18.08-beta18 (AppImage). I've attached a minimal example: the characters are displayed in the "Clip Monitor" but not in "Project Monitor" nor in a rendered file.
Comment 3 Julian Steinmann 2018-09-24 15:19:24 UTC
Appears to still exist.
Comment 4 Jean-Baptiste Mardelle 2018-09-24 17:18:39 UTC
Well, to me it seems like the charcters cannot be seen because you use an almost black font color on a black background.

Please test using the stable AppImages (18.08.1):

Comment 5 Julian Steinmann 2018-09-25 16:18:01 UTC
Huh, how did that happen? I am 99% sure that I saved the file with bright red text, but apparently I uploaded one that contains near-black text... Anyways, when trying this again with the stable 18.08.1 AppImage, I cannot reproduce this bug. In fact, even when I tried to create a new minimal project with the refactoring release, I couldn't get the title to disappear.

I think that I somehow screwed up when triaging this bug yesterday, sorry for that. It appears to me that this bug is now fixed, but it'd be great if @rh- could confirm this. 

(Also, small off-topic question: Should I generally use the refactoring release of the "normal" one when triaging Kdenlive bugs?)

Seems like this is fixed. Please reopen if you can still reproduce this issue with a newer version of Kdenlive and attach a sample project.
