[xine-devel] video window resizing - strange behavior

[Matthias D. <mat...@we...>]

Hey there...         <( http://www.matthew2k.de.vu )>-=-<( powered by linux )> 

While I was digging around in videowin to fix the XVidMode support, I ran over
some interesting problem. Do the following:    start xine with the old "stream
size resizes window" policy and *don't* move your mouse cursor at all.     You
will notice that the xine logo is displayed at the upper left corner where  it
should be but the video window is still way too large... now  move  the  mouse
cursor and the window will suddenly resize.    This is naturally even worse if
you have some DVD running where a switch is made from  a  menu  to  the  movie
and both differ in size: if the user doesn't move his/her mouse cursor and has
set the XVidMode support active, the resolution won't be switched until  (s)he
moves the cursor around...  side effect: the video is already scaled like  the
switch has been performed, so you will only see a part of the movie  until the
cursor is moved and therefore the resolution really switched.

I was trying to find this evil bug myself but unfortunately I ran over nothing
suspicious. :-(

Due the fact that I have a recent X CVS running here, maybe it's a new X  bug,
so can someone reproduce this error at all?   If yes, any ideas what's causing
this and how we can fix it?

Strange things happen...
Matthew.
