Bug#802886: vlc: QT Interface wont full screen or renders only a small portion of the video

[Tareeq Ali]

Package: vlc
Version: 2.2.1-4+b1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

When using the QT interface in VLC, I can no longer doubleclick a video and 
full screen it.
When playing a video parts of it are masked off/cropped .  So only a small area 
approximatly 530x290 is visable.  
I've disabled overlay with no effect.  Resizing the video into the small 
visable area is the only way to see the 
entire video uncropped.
 
If I however run the command cvlc  the video the full size and have 
no issue fullscreening the video.  
It seems that the issue might be with QT, but I am unsure how to figure out 
what the offending package maybe.

Bug#802886: vlc: QT Interface wont full screen or renders only a small portion of the video

This was caused by upgrade from Qt 5.4 to 5.5. It is either vlc [1] or Qt 5.5 
[2] issue (latter being more likely). I leave it up to maintainer to decide 
whether to reassign.

However, from a user POV, vlc is basically unusable for video with this bug in 
place.

There are two bugs here though:

1) double-click not working for full-screening. Can be worked around by 
setting QT_XCB_NO_XI2_MOUSE=1 when starting vlc [3]:

$ QT_XCB_NO_XI2_MOUSE=1 vlc

2) video is only partially visible. Not aware of any workarounds yet.
