Description

// Release 25.08.16 > Linux < appimage

I'm not sure if it's because some emoji is mixed in, that doesn't support plain text or
if it's because of the font size change across two lines.

But the project displays the elements, but when I export, only the emoji is visible.

Lately I've had to resort to using plain text with rich text just to put an emoji

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in Shotcut 25.08.16 on the Linux AppImage using a project containing rich text, emoji, opacity, and font-size changes across lines. Compare the project display with the exported result, then locate the text-rendering and export entry points; no source file or test is named in the report. Done means the exported output preserves the rich text, emoji, and opacity.
