- Issue started after the following happened:
  I started testing the new Niri floating mode (see https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/issues/908).
Reproduction Steps
  1. mpv --no-config somevideo.mp4
  2. perform a quick (as in mouse speed) vertical resize
Expected Behavior

mpv keeps the dimensions after the resize regardless of how fast I resize.

Actual Behavior

mpv reverts to its initial dimensions after the compositor already showed mpv at the requested resized dimensions.

(On Niri the video also jumps position but on KDE it does not. Maybe @YaLTeR knows why)

I can attach a kde recording too if requested.

Sample Files

I carefully read all instruction and confirm that I did the following:
  • I tested with the latest mpv version to validate that the issue is not already fixed.
  • I provided all required information including system and mpv version.
  • I produced the log file with the exact same set of files, parameters, and conditions used in "Reproduction Steps", with the addition of --log-file=output.txt.
  • I produced the log file while the behaviors described in "Actual Behavior" were actively observed.
  • I attached the full, untruncated log file.
  • I attached the backtrace in the case of a crash.

Research direction

Reproduce with mpv --no-config somevideo.mp4 and perform a quick vertical resize under the reported Wayland environments. Start by reviewing the attached output.txt and wayland-resize-sample.zip; done means the window retains the requested dimensions after rapid resizing without the reported position jump.
