Reproduction Steps
- Open big video
av://lavfi:testsrc=size=4000x6000with--autofit-larger=100%x100%
Expected Behavior
OSC is not behind taskbar. Autofit should fit window into working area of the screen.
Actual Behavior
OSC, at least default one is behind taskbar, making mpv unusable. It is also not possible to resize window because of #17712. Which makes mpv unusable.
Note that KDE prevents moving top window border above the screen area, which makes it more severe.
Log File
No.
Sample Files
Yes.
I carefully read all instruction and confirm that I did the following:
- I tested and confirmed that the issue exists with the latest release version or newer.
- 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 the issue with av://lavfi:testsrc=size=4000x6000 and --autofit-larger=100%x100% under Wayland. Investigate the window sizing and working-area behavior, with #17712 as related context; done means the OSC is not behind the taskbar and the window can be resized normally.
