Playlist constrains window size

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start gnome-mplayer
2. Open playlist
3. Play video

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

While the playlist is open, video will be shrunk down to a height of a few 
lines of text. If window is resized or the video's size is changed (Ctrl+1 for 
example), video will again shrink.

When gnome-mplayer is started, the playlist occasionally fills the entire width 
of the window, leaving no space for the video. Even if the video is visible, it 
can be extremely small because the playlist fills most of the window.

Video remains in the shrunk size even when played. This makes it impossible to 
watch the video, unless the playlist is closed or full screen mode is used. 
Adding more files to the playlist does not increase the playlist's height, or 
the height of the video.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

gnome-mplayer 1.0.6
Ubuntu 12.04

Please provide any additional information below.

Does checking the preference

Edit->Preferences [Interface] Resize window when new video is loaded 

Help at all?

Also, 1.0.7 may have fixes for this when it is released.

That preference has an effect, but I wouldn't say it helps. The video 
resizes to its actual size, and then shrinks back down. Just the same as 
hitting Ctrl+1 :(

Can you run gnome-mplayer -v and post the log that comes out

If you are able can you try the svn code of both gmtk and gnome-mplayer?

Hi, here's the gnome-mplayer -v log:

GNOME MPlayer v1.0.6
gmtk v1.0.6
Running with GIO support
Using audio device:
The volume on 'Oletus' is 1,000000
adding dvdnav:// to playlist (cancel = 0)
getting file metadata for dvdnav://
mplayer -vo null -ao null -nomsgcolor -nomsgmodule -frames 0 -noidx 
-identify -nocache -noidle dvdnav://
parse playlist = 1

I'll see what I can do about svn.

Hi

Build and install from SVN worked like a charm. I didn't realize that 
the -v option continues logging while gnome-mplayer is playing, sorry. I 
just posted the startup piece of log.

Anyway, the SVN version is doing the same thing, and this time I've got 
the log. There's another thing I noticed yesterday, or actually two.

After I pause gnome-mplayer and Alt+Tab to another window, then back, 
the video doesn't always start playing. The GUI goes into "playing" mode 
and pressing the back button restarts the video after going back.

Also after Alt+Tabbing away and back, full screen doesn't always work 
correctly. I got a video scaled to full size but all black except for a 
section the same size as the video window before going to full screen. 
More often, though, the screen just went black in full screen. Sound 
continued, and apparently the video continued playing and after going on 
and off full screen mode a few times, the video was showing correctly in 
full screen again.

I got both of these effects with the SVN version too. The "non-playing" 
problem after Alt+Tab seems pretty consistent. The full screen issue on 
the other hand only occurred once (black screen) when I tried several 
times. A lot less frequently than yesterday with gnome-mplayer 1.0.6.

I've attached two logs: long.log has the results for my attempts at 
duplicating the Alt+Tab issues described above. The other one, short.log 
has the results when I just started gnome-mplayer, played a video (which 
resized the window to its correct size and then shrunk again), hit 
Ctrl+1 (which did the same), and quit.
