I am super puzzled, is there a reason of this to not be the default?
I can only imagine its been because:
A) some obscure legacy system that needs this defaults
B) is it just some random decision that made sense at the time.
Asking because it had been incredibly frustrating to try to take some notes form some tech talk video.
Like imagine you spent some very distracting seconds, openned your editor, deciding where you should store it, naming and probably dating your note. Just to alt-tab into a blank video screen.
If I didn't really like this player, I would probably had switched to something else right then and there.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
This happens in Linux Kubuntu (18.04).
SMPlayer version 19.10 (revision 1919)
switch Preferences/Genreal/Video/Output driver to something else?
i had the same issue
go to advanced then uncheck "Repaint the background of the video window"
this should fix it
