Hello David, i'm using totem 2.31.6-0ubuntu1 here and it works fine when setting the resize option, may you please tell us a few easy steps in order to reproduce the bug? thanks in advance.

set Preferences->Settings->Display->Resize the window when a new video is loaded.

Then double click a video file and voila.

2.31.6-0ubuntu1

Using both the proprietary driver and nouveau with gallium running Maverick with xorg-edgers.

works fine here setting this back to new, thanks.

I'm having the same issue, but apparently this comes from upstream. Kind of a bummer because I generally play the video in a corner while I'm working on something else.

could somebody having the issue send it upstream at bugzilla.gnome.org ? thanks.

[David Nielsen (davidnielsen-deactivatedaccount)]

Looking at the changelog this appears to be intentional, I believe it would be, as usual, pointless to debate with Bastian on the matter

    - Make auto-resize use half-scale or 2x if the player would fit on the
      screen

we should atleast try by sending this bug to gnome.
