Description

Pre-conditions:

  • Fresly installed Xubuntu 14.04 with all available updates installed (as of 2014-06-08)
  • Have packages necessary for DVD playback installed

Use-case:

  1. insert DVD -> Parole is automatically started
  2. click Play
  3. try to interact with Parole

Result:

  • DVD playback works (with subtitles) in Parole window
  • None of the controls in the Parole screen work
  • Resizing Parole window doesn't resize video playback and switching to another window and back leaves garbage to Parole window (to the area not overwritten by video playback)
  • If in windowed mode, clicking on window close button gives error about Parole not responding to input i.e. GUI side is completely frozen as it doesn't even respond to WM_PING messages

Version: 0.1.90
