Bug Description
[Description]
During video playback a very disturbing bug occurs: the video area is always on top every other window.
The video also won't scale when changing the size of the player window.
This is not player-specific as both SMPlayer and VLC are affected.
The bug doesn't register on screenshots so I had to take a photo of the screen to illustrate:

WORKAROUND: - Open SMPlayer, go to Options -> Preferences
- Go to "Advanced", then to the "Options for MPlayer/mpv" tab
- add -vo gl to the (empty) option list
