[gst0.10] refresh issue when using video effect with no effect selected

[Phil Worrall]

System: Ubuntu Dapper Flight5
Kernel: 2.6.15-18-386
Hardware: HP Laptop model ze2355ea
Ati Mobility Radeon X200 (default open source driver)

When I click on the the various menus within totem a menu pops up but doesnt then close as expected when the mouse is moved away.

This happens whenever I try to play any multimedia file such as those which are included in the ~/Examples/Audio file.

I have taken a screenshot to show what totem looks like when you try to browse the menus and created a tiny url for it.

I think it may have something to do with my graphics card.

Thanks for your bug. It seems that the video are is not refreshed correctly. Do you use totem-gstreamer or totem-xine? What videosink from gstreamer-properties do you use? Does trying a different one fixes the issue? What visual effects do you use (the properties have that option)?

totem-gstreamer

Multimedia streams selector isn't in my menus, so i ran 'gstreamer-properties'

Trying with video ....

Output: Autodetect
Pipeline: autovideosink
Result: Totem still exhibits the same behaviour.

Output: XWindows (no Xv)
Pipeline: ximagesink
Result: Totem still exhibits the same behaviour.

Output: XWindows (X11,XShm,Xv)
Pipeline: xvimagesink
Result: Totem still exhibits the same behaviour.

I went back to Totem

Edit->Preferences->Display

'Show visual effects when an audio file is played' == false

Set 'Show visual effects when an audio file is played' == true. Close Totem.

Open ogg file in Totem, visualisation GOOM what GOOM is observed in the main window. Flicking between different drop down menus doesnt exhibit the same overlapping as before.

Ok now disable the visual effects and see if the menus still operate.
Totem->Edit->Preferences->Display

'Show visual effects when an audio file is played' == false. Restart totem.

Menus open when mouse is moved over them and then close again when the mouse is moved away.

Try all three videosinks and check to see whether menus display properly and work when visualisation is off/on.

Output: Autodetect
Pipeline: autovideosink
Result: Visualisation Off = menus OK, On = menus OK

Output: XWindows (no Xv)
Pipeline: ximagesink
Result: Visualisation Off = menus OK, On = menus OK.

Output: XWindows (X11,XShm,Xv)
Pipeline: xvimagesink
Result: Visualisation Off = menus OK, On = menus OK.

It has to be noted that changing the audio output sink in gstreamer properties passed the gstreamer property test although in totem the menus didnt work as expected.

So to work around this bug for me i needed to enable visualisations on audio files within totem, then the menus work fine regardless if in the future i disable them again.

I see the same problem with a fresh install of Dapper Flight 5, and using a freshly created user account.

video driver: i810
videosink: according to gconf, it is "autovideosink", so I'm not sure exactly which one it picks.

It happens only when a audio file is actually playing.

One thing I noticed in this freshly created user account: In the Totem preferences, "show visual effects when audio file is played" is on by default, but the the type of visualisation is blank. If you click on the blank field, then "GOOM: what a GOOM!" appears. One you do that, and restart totem, the problem with the menus is gone, no matter if the visualisation is on or off.

So it seems initially in totem visualisation is on, but no visualisation is selected, and in that situation the menus don't close during an audio playback.

That happens when the visual effects are activated with no effect selected, I've forwarded it upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335948
