Aspect Ratio selection broken

[kripken]

Binary package hint: totem

Currently on Hardy, trying to change the aspect ratio doesn't work. Going to View->Aspect Ratio and selecting one of the options has no effect. In addition, selecting another option doesn't move the selection, it leaves both selected. That is, you can have more than one selected aspect ratio, even them all if you select them one by one (and none of them have any effect).

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Is this still reproducible with the latest updates?

I can't reproduce this with totem Version: 2.22.0-0ubuntu1

Yes, the bug still exists on a fully updated Hardy.

I am running totem-2.22.0-0ubuntu2. Totem itself says in the About dialog that it is Totem 2.21.5.

Let me clarify the bug report a little, as I re-read it now I see I forgot a small detail:

When going to View->Aspect Ratio, initially *none* of the options are selected. Selecting one then has no effect on the actual aspect ratio, but the option remains selected. Selecting another does not remove the prior selection, and also has no actual effect on the video. After trying them all, you can end up with all of the radiobuttons selected, and you still have not had any real effect on the viewed video. So

(1) the radiobuttons do not behave right - at first none is selected, and then you can select more than one, and you cannot unselect them, and
(2) no selection has any actual change on the aspect ratio of the viewed video

This occurs for every video I have tried. However I probably do not have a great variety of codecs etc., so here is for example the video I am currently watching: 640x352, XviD MPEG-4, 25 frames/sec, Bitrate: N/A. That is, it's a widescreen video. Thankfully Totem detected the aspect ratio correctly, or else it would be unwatchable (since I can't change the aspect ratio manually due to this bug).

(I'm changing the status back to 'New' from 'Incomplete', after I supplied the info you requested. I hope this is the right thing to do? Please correct me if I shouldn't have.)

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Thanks in advance.

I am on a new machine (also with Hardy) currently, and I can't reproduce the bug any more. So, I have no idea what caused the original problem, and I'll close this bug as 'invalid'...
