2024-09-01 crashed when repeating an audio track

[Spike1]

I've acquired the Nightly of 2024-09-01. I put on a podcast and set it to Repeat One to make some noise while I was out of the house. On return, it tried to repeat but a pop-up said it had crashed. (The side process did begin repeating the podcast.) Crash log says:

Upon further review, the following longstanding bugs are still present:

"Slide-down menu interferes with scroll bar" https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.ph ... 5&p=513189 (Can't see that an issue was ever opened)

"Fast Seek versus A-B Repeat" https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.ph ... 9&p=543594 (Issue 3056)

Your issue is now tracked here: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc- ... ssues/3083

"Slide-down menu interferes with scroll bar" -> are you talking about https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc- ... ssues/2937 ?

Yes, that's the one; thanks for the link.
