Since the latest update. Whenever I select a Text (GDI+) Source to edit, the dialog looks different and when I select a field on the dialog to edit, the application goes unresponsive. Attached is a screenshot and the latest log file.

hi, I think this is related to fonts that are failing to load in 31.1 but I am unable to reproduce myself. The "Arial Black" font in your screenshot doesn't load for me on 31.1 but also doesn't cause a crash like this and we haven't had any other reports that I have seen so I think there might be another factor here. I'd like if you could fully uninstall your AVG antivirus and see if you're still having freezes like this.

Unfortunately, that did not work. I uninstalled all AVG components and rebooted. the Text dialog still locks up the app.

NOTE: between each uninstall and install I rebooted my pc. I first rolled back to the "OBS Studio 31.1.0 Release Candidate 1" version and I experienced the same issue. Rolled back to "OBS Studio 31.0.3 (64 bit)" and am not having the issue. In this version the Text (GDI +) source does not lock up the application.

WOW! That seems so random. I tested it and that resolves the issue. Am now using 31.1.2 without the issue.

Thank you.
