Is it similar to this Bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=379351

No, in my case slideshow works perfectly. Problem only occurs after moving the images to different location.
I assume kdenlive is trying to let user re-select the new location when the invalid clip is clicked. But instead it shows a text clip dialog which allows me to re-select font, see screenshot.
The work around is using an editor to fix the XML file  :-)

Verified on v20.12.0. User is allowed to select a new path.
