Have you? Not to be too pointed about it, but the Kdenlive documentation says nothing about WSL: https://community.kde.org/Kdenlive/Development/WindowsBuild … And, honestly, spending the whole afternoon and evening faffing around with WSL just so that I can compile a two-line bug fix is not my idea of a good time.

To actually be pointed about it, such a bar for contributing a simple, one-off fix to a project is exactly the sort of gatekeeping that the purported open-source "community" could do with less of. And if that's the bar I have to hit, I'll happily just use Sony VEGAS Pro.

Oh, totally agree, 100%. I find I have to go to IRC a lot to get anything happening in open-source. (Formerly on the KDE Usability Team)

Yeah, I'm tearing my hair out at this point. I *had* a manual ZIP-download clone of the Kdenlive repo compiling for the past 2 hours or so in Qt Creator, and I was able to iron out the bug I'm trying to fix. But...

...after cloning the repo properly via git, following what I *thought* were the same steps to import its CMakeLists.txt into QtCreator, I get 7600+ errors where it acts like it's trying to compile/link C++ code as C. So I'm back to square one of even being able to build Kdenlive.

Is the bug in the older windows version of kdenlive? I remember one of the early versions I used was okay but the new ones on Linux were more broken.

As I understand it, the Rotoscoping effect is somewhat new. It would appear that the bug comes as a side effect from how keyframes for the effect are serialized into a JSON document: QJsonDocument has a fromVariant function which takes a QVariantMap to construct an object.

QVariantMap is effectively a map which uses QStrings as keys, so KeyframeModel::getRotoProperty string-ifies the raw frame index of each keyframe for the key. Problem is, the width parameter for the rightJustified is miscalculated.
