[mythtv-users] Re: Possible bugs in TV Editing

[Brad]

Well, I've confirmed - at least on my system - one of the bugs I 
mentioned earlier. I just edited a different recording and tried to 
move forward to the end of the file using the right arrow. Upon 
reaching the last frame, the editor hangs. Can anyone else confirm 
this?
