Description Bruce Cowan 2007-03-09 23:01:51 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
If I open a video that is larger than the screen can cope with (area between the two panels), Totem resizes itself to the size of the video, causing the window to be larger than the desktop can handle.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Enable "Automatic resize"
2. Make sure window is not maximised
3. Open video which is larger than display can handle


Actual results:
Totem's window resizes to be larger than the desktop.

Expected results:
It should maximise itself, or resize to fill the space of the desktop.

Does this happen every time?
Yes

The GStreamer backend doesn't check for the size (the xine-lib backend just uses bacon_video_widget_set_scale_ratio(), GStreamer doesn't).

But perhaps the window itself should disallow making it larger than the screen, since the hidden controls could confuse the user.  

On the other hand, this is a handy hack to zoom into a part of a movie.
