audio clips corrupting after cutting and saving

I recently began noticing that sometimes (but not always) when I cut an audio clip into two parts and then save and render the project, it will corrupt the clip - moving a second or two of audio a distance backwards or forwards. The visual clip on the timeline will now not match the actual sound as it plays.
Before I invest the time digging into .kdenlive files and logs, I should mention that I'm still running Ubuntu 14.04 and, therefore, using Kdenlive Version 0.9.6 on Development Platform 4.13.3. I don't see any more recent Kdenlive version available for 14.04: should I just wait until I eventually upgrade to 16.04 and the problem will probably disappear, or is it likely that there's something that needs fixing?
Thanks,

What kind of audio clips, mp3 (lossy compression)?


The Social Credit System is a credit rating and blacklist being developed by the the ruling Chinese Communist Party. The goal is total control of the population by awarding points for desirable behavior, or withdrawing them for negative behavior.

Yes, MP3 (MPEG-1 Layer 3).

Replace the mp3's by lossless. Sometimes it helps.

ffmpeg -i audioclip.mp3 audioclip.wav
or
ffmpeg -i audioclip.mp3 -c:a flac audioclip.flac

Thanks! I would imagine that will increase the size of my videos...but it might be worth it.
I'll give it a try over the next week or so and report back.

I've produced three videos (totaling around 16 minutes) using .flac audio and haven't seen any corruption yet. Looks good so far!
