Research direction
Start by reproducing the default key-binding behavior with the mpv v0.41.0 setup described, then inspect the attached output.txt for relevant seek or input details. Compare repeated Right Arrow and Left Arrow presses; done means Left Arrow consistently seeks back about five seconds instead of stopping near the last second.
