Aspect Ratio mplayer vs gmplayer

[ridetheteapot]

I am wondering why gmplayer does not maintain aspect ratio when resizing the window (not going fullscreen, just click and drag resize), but mplayer does it just fine (i can only click and drag diagonally in the corners.)
In both cases the output driver is gl2.
Is it something to do with gnome's own window rules?

Hi,

Try smplayer which is in the Ubuntu repository, this is a vastly better front for MPlayer.
