Comment 0 for bug 1720901

Ubuntu version: 17.10 (most recent updates as of October 3rd)
vlc version: 2.2.6-6

Whan I expect to happen: When playing a video in vlc and switching to fullscreen mode everything should work fine. Also when changing to a different position of a movie in fullscreen I expect the player to just switch to that position.

What actually happens: It seems to depend a little on the file type of the video, mostly I get problems when going to fullscreen mode and then switching to a different position with the playback position bar. With some videos it was even enough to just open the fullscreen mode. The video freezes just displaying a frame while the audio keeps playing. The computer does not react any more to mouse or keyboard input, I have to perform a hard reboot.

This problem only appears under the Wayland session, in the Xorg session everything works fine as expected.
