Thanks, I upgraded to 0.26.1 and it started to work again.

I wanted to make the edit title window edit field bigger. I remember I  
actually posted a patch for that that got accepted into shotwell six years  
ago, it was this change:  
https://github.com/GNOME/shotwell/commit/aaef7f7d6d77e6476216320510935ea0eca1b6b6

Why was it reverted? The size of the title windows is really small now, it  
is impractical if you want to write a sentence.

I would actually prefer a field that would allow a paragraph - I use it  
mainly to push commets to Facebook and sometimes I want to write a little  
story relating to the photo. I know "comments" are supposed to do that,  
but I have sticked with titles for too long now ot change that (and I am  
not sure if comments get pushed to Facebook in the same way as titles?).
