Subtitle Edit crash!

Had a scary software issue today when SubtitleEdit version 4-something (Windows 11) dropped the video file's audio (which it has done before) and then, after a little while, crashed and refused to stay open. No error messages. 

After looking to see what new free/open source titling apps there might be, I decided to try a Subtitle Edit reinstall. Step One-- remove the current copy. Which is when I discovered the original version 3.x was still on my computer-- updating to 4.x did not overwrite the previous version. Subtitle Edit users looking to update, take note. Did the copies interfere with each other? Why wait until now to be fatal?


Step Two, with both copies removed I ran a freshly downloaded 4.0.5 installer. I'm happy to report I'm back up and running.
