gnome mplayer continually growing playlist

[Mannex]

Fresh install of 11.04 with Gnome mplayer version 1.0.2.

Open mplayer, select View -> Playlist. The playlist opens, but continues to grow in length, even though it's empty. Please let me know if this is reproducable on other machines so that I can file a bug on this. Thanks.

When the global menu option is in use, gnome-mplayer has no way of detecting that the menu is not actually in the window. Recently in SVN (v > 1.0.3) a gconf/dconf key was added named "enable_global_menu" this option should be set to TRUE when the gtk global menu is enabled.

I asked in launchpad on how to automatically detect the global menu feature so this key would not be needed, but the question was ignored.

See gnome-mplayer bug

gnome-mplayer packagers will need to patch the gconf or dconf xml schema to set the correct value to true so that the option is enabled properly.

Fixed in MPlayer 1.0.4 under Ubuntu 11.10.
