Description of problem: use video player like mpv that sets the aspect-ratio hint and notice that mutter makes the window too small in height/too wide in width, resulting in black bars at the sides of the video. 100% reproducible, see also the upstream bug for more details. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
upstream has a patch (also linked in the upstream bug) that applies cleanly to 3.14 and fixes the problem for me: https://git.gnome.org/browse/mutter/commit/?id=cb66ab5a87251b21c3f807474022a0b74dba8808

Mageia 5 has officially reached its End of Life on December 31st, 2017 https://blog.mageia.org/en/2017/11/07/mageia-5-eol-postponed/ It only continued to get important security updates since then, but non-security bugs have no chance of still getting fixed. Closing as OLD.
