1622203 - PiP window moves across the screen when resized and has letterboxing at large/small sizes.

Status: NEW

(Core :: Widget: Gtk, defect, P3)

Description

[Kestrel]

Attachment: Dark bars on left/right edges of small resized PiP window

STR:

1. Open a video Picture-in-Picture window on Ubuntu 19.10 (X11).
2. Resize PiP window from any edge except the bottom-right corner (hold and drag larger and smaller several times).

Expected:

Window position does not change.

Actual:

The window moves to the top/left of screen while dragging, depending on the edge that is resized. Only the bottom-right corner keeps the window position fixed, however it flickers rapidly between a small window and the desired size.

In addition, at small sizes there is letterboxing (dark strips) on the left+right edges and at large sizes on the top+bottom edges which did not exist before the regressing bug.

Martin, could you please set the priority flag of this bug?

Comment 2

[Martin Stránský [:stransky] (ni? me)]

Yes, this is caused by aspect ratio setting.

Can you set widget.use-aspect-ratio to false (you need to create it as false) and try again?

Thanks.

Disabling the aspect ratio lock avoids the window moving by itself when resized.
