[Bug] Subtitles dissapear when seeking

[SaurusLex]

Hi guys, really great work with this app! I'm using it as my main player instead of the default one.

I've noticed a bug that is a bit annoying: sometimes, when I seek back to rewatch a scene, the subtitles disappear. To fix it, I have to seek back even further for the subtitles to reappear.

I'm using Fedora 44 (GNOME 50) and the 1.4.5 Flatpak version.

Thanks!

Hey, I made some changes in the update v1.5.0, can you check if the issue still happens?

Hi! Thank you for the quick response and the changes. Unfortunately, the issue persists.

After doing some testing, I noticed this happens specifically when I seek to a timestamp that falls in the middle of an ongoing subtitle. If I seek a moment just before the subtitle is supposed to start, it displays correctly.

I've noticed this same behavior in other apps like Showtime and VLC, so it might be related to how subtitle rendering handles mid-text seeking.

Interestingly, after more digging, I discovered that this issue does not happen in mpv when running it via the terminal.

It feels like it's working better than before. The issue isn't completely gone, but it only happens in a few specific moments now. Thanks!
