- Issue started after the following happened:I rotate my monitor, the video in fullscreen shift to left side.
Reproduction Steps

If I rotate my monitor, and play the video in fullscreen, it shifts to left side, when I'm moving my mouse, it becomes normal.
It only happens to vo=gpu and vo=gpu-next, it doesn't happen to vo=dmabuf-wayland, it doesn't happen to VLC either.

  1. Rotate the screen in System Setting.
  2. Play videos with --vo=gpu or --vo=gpu-next in fullscreen.
  3. Don't move your mouse.

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

Start with the attached fullscreen.txt log and reproduce the issue after rotating the monitor. Compare fullscreen behavior for vo=gpu and vo=gpu-next against vo=dmabuf-wayland, focusing on the difference before and after mouse movement. Done means rotated vertical displays keep fullscreen video correctly positioned without mouse input.
