I have a big problem since the update to version 2.2.2. As i click on a photo to open it, it display and the second after the application is closed.

It is reproduced whatever photo i use.

Could you please fix this bug ? Thanks a lot.

This bug has been fixed and i due to a segmentation fault. I have updated to the darktable unstable version and now no more problem.

Thanks to the community for their reactivity.
