Now on LxQt (multi-desktops). I tried this first on Cinnamon, and did not notice anything untoward. But the effect is so subtle, I may have to go back & check. On a short mp4 video, nothing noticeable. On a longer Indian knees-up mp4 video, I noticed a single slight jerk at about 5s only, after starting the video from scratch. Leaving it in place, and re-winding to the start, I did not see it again. I think I could see the same behaviour with a webm video. FWIW...

Is this issue still present in current Cauldron? It is almost a year later and most of Cauldron has changed.
