Description
mpv version and platform
Mpv master on linux (Arch)
Reproduction steps
I am trying out mpv as an image viewer and would like to setup keybindings for reading comics. For example I want to have a key to go to the bottom of the current image then go to the top of the next image on the next press (and so on). I have this working, but the problem is that playlist-next always happens after changing video-pan-y (or other settings like video-zoom), which is disorienting.
Basic example with this in input.conf
ctrl+a no-osd add video-pan-y -0.1
ctrl+SPACE playlist-next; no-osd set video-pan-y 0
Open a directory with mpv that just contains images and pause playback. Press ctrl+a a few times and then press ctrl+SPACE.
Expected behavior
Mpv goes to the next image and then sets video-pan-y to 0.
Actual behavior
Mpv sets video-pan-y to 0 for the current image before going to the next image, causing flashing/flickering. This seems to be a lot more noticeable if I have a lot of scripts in the scripts directory (i.e. longer delay between pan and playlist-next), but it is still noticeable without any.
I tried various ways in a script of getting this to work without success (e.g. separate mp.command or mp.set_property_number calls). It would be nice if there was some way to switch to the next image in a playlist and then afterwards change a setting like video-pan-y with a single keybinding.

Research direction
Start with the input.conf reproduction using playlist-next, video-pan-y, and the image-viewing setup described in the issue. Compare the behavior with and without scripts in the scripts directory. Done means a single keybinding can advance to the next image before applying the subsequent pan reset, without the reported flicker.
