Thanks. I have just repeated the test with the latest build. The result is
almost the same, except that now Kdenlive closes automatically in a couple of
secs. I had to call Task Manager to End Task in last released versions
(21.08.1-3).

I am afraid two important points still are to be taken into consideration by
the devs.

First, it seems obvious for me (I have some developer experience) that there is
an inner Error in Spacer Tool algorithms, namely in how it makes/defines a
group of moving parts. I.e. the tool works perfectly fine if no grouped items
involved, and it works fine if you click (and hold) on the leftmost element of
a group. But it reliably crashes the app if you click on any other element in
the group. So it doesn't look like it a 'general crash'—the problem seems quite
specific.

Second, maybe even more important. The nature of this bug seems not just
annoying (any app has bugs, and any of them is annoying), but catastrophic: a
user makes some groups (not many, the effect doesn't depend on the project
size) which is a basic feature, then them use Spacer (basic tool), and all the
project is under risk of crash all of sudden: just one click on a (wrong,
though—why wrong?) part of a group consistently makes a crash. I am sure such a
problem could/should be of higher priority than it is.

Though, I still regard Kdenlive as outstanding piece of software.
