Keyboard shortcut issue

[Brandon Snider]

Hi, I am seeing an issue where pressing space or p resizes the video window by maybe 5% by subtracting horizontal space, so in other words, the bottom of the window border moves up a bit. It happens when pressing play out of a paused state. Seems to be relatively recent.

I am using the latest SVN code for gmtk/g-m. Mplayer2 is the backend. I tried in mplayer2-cli and this issue doesn't happen there. G-M has a list of shortcuts and resize is not among them.

Can you isolate when the problem started occuring, as I don't see that
issue here. Perhaps you can post a video of what you are seeing as I'm
not entirely clear if it is the gnome-mplayer window that is shrinking
or the video inside the window.

Hi Kevin.

The bottom of the window climbs up a bit and the video then gets pillarboxed/pictureboxed with black bars on the left and right. It doesn't happen during pause, only when playing out of a paused or stopped state. Since there's no shortcut for that, I'm wondering if it might be related to gtk3 or gnome 3. No other app seems to be doing this though.

Brandon,

Is your main menu bar at the top of the screen like a Mac? I believe
this is called the global menu. If so, you may have to set

/apps/gnome-mplayer/preferences/enable-global-menu to true

in either dconf-editor or gconf-editor (however your system is setup).
This hint tells gnome-mplayer not to use the menu bar size when
calculating the window size.

Not sure why it is doing that when you hit pause, as the window resize
code is not really called then.

No, that key is unchecked. I use a "gnobuntu" type thing with the standard gnome-shell desktop in Ubuntu instead of Unity.

[Brandon Snider]

I've had someone test the packages in Quantal and this doesn't happen, so I think maybe it's a quirk in my setup here. I am running a custom kernel with some other customizations, so something there could be to blame.

I ripped my system apart trying to figure this out, and here's further info: If I launch G-M from Unity, it works as expected. It doesn't have this issue. In all other modes, gnome-shell, gnome-fallback, whatever, it has this issue.

Try unsetting "UBUNTU_MENUPROXY" before your launch gnome-mplayer when
not running under Unity.

If this variable is set, it can cause gnome-mplayer to think that
global menus are in use.

Hi Kevin. That didn't work, and I also removed the related packages, which also didn't work.
