X-Debbugs-Cc: pascal.mart...@gmx.fr

Dear Maintainer,

I have used Openbox much recently. I said that MPV worked fine in i3, jwm and
openbox. To be precise, in Openbox there is now awful video tearing with
Compton or Picom as necessary window compositors. So I turned to Mutter for
replacement. I had to install the Mutter package itself as only the libraries
were already installed. With Mutter the image is perfect, it does the job, I
can only notice a delay in window compositing when the CPU is too busy.
What I wanted to report about Mutter is that I don't see in Openbox all the
little defects I reported for Gnome or Budgie. The video image is perfect when
I connect to fullscreen and come back to windowed video and move it. With
Mutter I notice image tearing only in Firefox when I scroll pages up and down.

And I wanted to report also another bug in MPV that reminds me that this
marvelous (not so) little software is not perfect (what/who is?), unlike what I
tended to think. I was looking at a streaming video while doing some
configuration job for Openbox & Tint2 (with several "live" Openbox & Tint2
restarting). So at least these tools were open at the same time : MPV,
SMPlayer, Gedit, Firefox. When I had finished my config, I noticed that the
(paused) video image had changed : it was all cleanly pulled/shifted to the
left, so with a black vertical bar at the right (10-15% of the image). I
checked that it was not "normal", a video effect, by going back in the video
and then relaunching it again. No, the problem came undoubtedly from MPV. I can
add that this video had been launched for hours.

So I wanted to report that comparison for Mutter usage and a reminder that MPV
may also be buggy (though it works quite finely most of the time). I can say
that this MPV little bug (or defect or feature) was only discovered in extreme
usage conditions.

Cordially,
Pascal.
