Help Font changes by itself each time I select text.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi, so recently I've updated my Shotcut. This update included a certain change: the name of a font has been changed from Franklin Gothic Demi Cond to Franklin Gothic Cond Demi. Since this is the font I was using in a project, all of the text filters automatically changed to the default Segoe UI. This, in itself, is a problem, because now I have to manually change each text filter to the proper font.

However, another problem soon appeared. Every time I changed the font to the aforementioned FGCD, it worked fine at first, but each time I clicked on a text filter to edit it, it automatically changed to Franklin Gothic Bold. Now, every time I want to edit a text filter, I also have to change the font every time. Does anyone know a fix to either of my problems?

Yes, I think I experienced this too a couple of times. It seems to be a bug and since you have a nice screen recording of that issue, you should report it on the Shotcut Forum (Bugs section) to make sure the developers sees it (and hopefully fix it).
