GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 458495
Slider behaviour in fullscreen makes it useless.
Last modified: 2007-07-20 12:25:27 UTC
Problem: While playing a movie in fullscreen, if you try to use the slider to seek to another position, the slider RESIZES as soon as you click on it. Description: Intuitively, if I want to move back just a few seconds of a movie I am watching, I know that I must click the seek slider and drag it a few pixels to the left. But, as soon as I click the seek slider it shrinks in size, and makes it virtually impossible to drag just a few pixels to the desired position. How to reproduce: Watch any movie in fullscreen, preferably a long one such as a DVD. Seek to 3/4 of the movie as usual. Now watch 10 seconds of a scene and try to move the slider just a few pixels, to the beginning of this very scene. You will realize it's impossible because the slider RESIZES itself. Proposed fix: DO NOT rescale the seek bar while in fullscreen. Set an horizontal size in pixels to it, and stick to this size, so it behaves as it should: not resizing itself, like it already behaves while playing in windowed mode. Please, I know you are a busy team, but take just a few seconds to test it and you will realize what I mean. Thank you a lot.
