Kdenlive for Windows suffers from 5 major issues (some of these are from first release)

1) Kdenlive main window positioning. (with another issue on latest builds)
2) Titler tool with INVISIBLE cursor (this is from first release years ago')
3) Titler tool with wrong size (is necessary to enlarge it to have all buttons displayed)
4) displayed language regression after comma/point fix
5) Directx support is very bugged. (and is the only choice for INTEL VGA users)

these are 3 videos showing the main issues (1) (2) (3) and (4)

1) main window position starting out of the screen (fixed on Krita for WIndows .. but not on Okular for Windows BTW)

and on latest nightly build for windows there is another issues about windows size... that starts everytime reduced to strange values of x-y
also when reducing the window the metrics of timeline position are not saved or changed using % of orginal position... if i have the timeline bar on bottom of screen (maybe at 20% from the bottom... after resizing the window i have the timeline in another position...

2) invisible cursor is an issue that can be easly fixed using a solid color and incerasing thickness of the line.
3) the right buttons are out of view on Windows version (maybe the window can be incerased horizontally by default. .but this can be an issues on old monitor with 1280 x resolution)

4) to fix the comma/point issue on Windows the language is forced to english (but displayed on original language of OS) .. also the only fallback language is ENGLISH.. right now is not possibile to switch from a native Italian languiage to French.. or russian.. or Hindi...

these 3 issues need to be fixed because user experience (for Windows users) is very bad... Kdenlive (that is working fine with video editing on Windows) seems bugged and on an early development stage with this kind of issues.

btw there are opened issue reports about all these points...

3) https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/kdenlive/-/issues/412
4) https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/kdenlive/-/issues/787

5) https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/kdenlive/-/issues/604 https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/kdenlive/-/issues/596 https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/kdenlive/-/issues/773

i know that the Windows version is just a "porting" but looking at the forum posts 50% (or more) of users are using the Windows version nad maybe some cosmetic fixes needs to be done.
