Tracker 6.3.3 Shows Incomplete Track Data and Freezes on Load thread

Hello,

I am having problems with Tracker 6.3.3 on Linux Mint 22.2.

Sometimes Tracker behaves exactly as expected. Other times, however, Tracker only places the first point from the autotracker in the tables and graphs, and no further points -- or it does not place any points at all, neither in the tables nor in the graphs.
The points do exist, though: I can see them in the image as markers, trails, etc.

If I save the *.trk project and open it again, the points then appear correctly in the tables and graphs (but newly created tracks again show the same problem).

I could live with this issue, but Tracker often *freezes when opening .trk files.

Under Linux Mint 21.3, I did not notice these problems.

Unfortunately, neither Tracker's debug log nor the debug output when starting Tracker from the shell provides any useful information about what is going wrong.

Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this, or how I could further investigate/debug the problem?


Btw: Is it intended behavior that only tracks of the same type can be exported at the same time?
For example, exporting either Point Mass coordinate data or Distance track angle data, but not a mixture of both.
