When selecting "Automatic" video output in VLC player, the playback malfunctions in several ways. 1. The video floats on top, covering drop-down menus and other windows in front. I tried to take a screenshot, but the video does not appear on the screenshot. 2. The aspect ratio is wrong: the image is squeezed from the sides. Trying to change the aspect ratio cuts a different rectangle from the image without changing the aspect ratio. (Note: I have a Full HD screen 1920x1080.) 3. The image cannot be stretched beyond its maximal resolution (as understood by VLC after miscalculating the aspect ratio). 4. When resizing the window, a blue background appears and blinks. Sometimes it stays, especially in fullscreen mode. These problems are fixed by selecting GLX video output instead of Automatic. I do not know if this might be relevant, but i suspect that for some reason i do not have accelerated graphics in my desktop environment: dragging windows around clearly is not accelerated enough. WORKAROUND: Uncheck Accelerated video output (Overlay)" in Preference > Video > Display.
