Bug#747009: pitivi: The timeline is not displayed correctly. I can interact but display is same has desktop (when it loaded)

[Antonio Ospite]

Package: pitivi
Version: 0.93-4
Followup-For: Bug #747009

Dear Maintainer,

this bug is a result of #743585, but as recalled there pitivi is not using
cogl anymore.

To fix the timeline drawing it is enough to apply just two patches from
upstream:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/pitivi/commit/?id=c4c11dedd3cc966f8fa75fad080aff3abf1cf3f6
https://git.gnome.org/browse/pitivi/commit/?id=af65ef5317e2b7a0492ef165f2686c47b7011279

The second one does not apply cleanly on top of RELEASE-0_93_0 because
it was based on the upstream conversion to pyhton3 (namely the new code
use ".previewers" instead on "previewers" and that causes a patch
conflict in the first hunk), however it's easy to backport it, this can
even be done automatically with "git am -3" and then "git format-patch"
again.

Please consider apply those patches for the time being as we don't know
when a new upstream releases is coming.

If you apply them, then #743585 would not be pitivi concern anymore.

BTW for a "beta" quality software like pitivi it may be worth packaging
git snapshots.

Thanks,
   Antonio
