Bug#878009: easytag fails to add tags to .ogg files

[Doug S.]

Source: easytag
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

  Easytag is not adding audio tags to .ogg files. Upon trying to modify tags of
an already tagged .ogg file, it DELETES all tags, leaving everything blank.

What works? .mp3 files are edited successfully. I can see the Nautilus window
flashing (updating contents) as soon as I press the "save changes" icon in
Easytag. But when the file is .ogg, the Nautilus screen where the file is
remains unchanged, probably a sign that the component that deals with vorbis
files is not acting/working.

I tried newer packages from Fedora Workstation 26 and Arch Linux before filing
this bug report, and the result is the same in all of them. Therefore I'm
assuming it concerns upstream developers.
