memory corruption crash

Hmm... seems to depend on the filename

Correction - it crashes with that error if a video file with that name exists.
(t.srt and t.avi exists)

Sorry, I really can not follow your description. Can you please try to explain again what you did and what happend. Please also include the version of subtitleeditor you use and the whole output (on the console) of subtitleeditor.

Thanks,
Philip

When I edit a file named t.srt
AND
a file named t.avi exists (so the editor attempts to load it as a video, so it may be a duplicate/already known bug)

subtitleeditor: Installed: 0.39.0-2

*FULL* error message
