It's hard to seek through fullscreen video

[Caleb]

Binary package hint: totem

When the seek bar is activated in fullscreen mode, the time/total display changes to say "Seek to time/total." This extra text pushes the whole seek bar to the left, moving it relative to the mouse position. The result is that without moving the mouse, you've already seeked forward in the video. It makes it very hard to accurately move to any part of the video while in fullscreen mode.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I cannot reproduce this the scrollbar is placed where i clicked it doesn't go the left. Which version of Ubuntu are you running? Are you running compiz? what's your video card? thanks!.

I'm on Feisty, without any compositing enabled, with an nVidia Go5200,
although I really don't think that information is pertinent to this bug.

I've attached a screenshot to help you understand what i mean by my
description. The bottom part of the image shows a portion of the
fullscreen toolbar, without the mouse on the handle. The top image shows
what happens when the mouse is clicked on the handle and dragged enough
to activate the "Seek to" thing. The display on the right changes, and
since it's longer, it causes the slider to resize, and the handle to
move right relative to the slider. As you can see on the right of both
parts, just dragging the handle one way and then back to where it was
would cause this particular 2:05 video to move forward by 2 seconds...
it gets much worse on a longer DVD movie.
