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

[Brad]

I've also now confirmed that MythTV Editing WILL delete to the end of 
a file from a marker without a "delete to the left of this" marker at 
the end of the file. That's good, because otherwise it would be 
pretty impossible not to get it to hang otherwise. The bug that I 
confirmed yesterday still stands though - I'm unable to skip forward 
to the end of a file in editing mode without causing the system to 
hang. So far, this is the most serious MythTV bug I've encountered.
