Public bug reported:
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.
