Example database used, 3 screen-shots and crash report

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 4.2.0-35-generic

Hi,
As this is the first bug I am reporting for Tellico, please let me first say
it's a great program - I use it to manage my video collection and I really like
it. I find it really fast and really flexible (I've added more fields and
developed, based on the example provided, my own IMDb interface plugin in
Python to retrieve data from IMDb and populate those extra fields). Thank you
for developing Tellico and making it available!
I am using Tellico as retrieved from the Kubuntu packages (as per above), I
haven't compiled my own version.
The following bug should be easily reproducible. It happens to me me every
single time.
Whenever there is a blank line in the list of "Cast" (in the middle of the
list, not at the end) for a Video Collection, the programme crashes upon saving
the entry.
Step 1 - Create an entry, create a list of "Cast" (see example attached)
Step 2 - Delete the data for a line in the middle (not at the end) of the list
of "Cast", to create a blank line; that's deleting the data without using Right
Click > Remove Row (see screen-shot attached)
Step 3 - Click on "Save Entry" - the programme crashes! (see screen-shot and
"Developer information" attached)
This happens to me when I want to re-order the rows on the "Cast" list - I
would "Insert Row", then cut-and-paste data from a row into the new one, and
sometimes I forget to "Remove Row" for the old (now empty) row. It is an issue
as it may mean losing all the modifications made since the last "Save".
I don't believe the program should crash, ever, even if the user does something
wrong. Suggested fixes:
1 - Find a way to save the data as-is, so that when the user saves and re-opens
the video entry, the data is as I saved it, i.e. with an empty row on the
"Cast" list
2 - Ignore the empty row, so that when the user saves and re-opens the video
entry, if there was, say, 1 row + 1 empty row + 1 row, there are only two rows
left, with the empty row having disappeared altogether
3 - Don't save the entry, and display an error message, e.g. "Can't save at
this time as there is an empty row on 'Cast' list"
Personally, I would be very happy with solution 1 or 2 (indifferently) and
would find solution 3 acceptable.
