Description: In Slide Show mode, every video is full screen and no way to change this. Same files work correctly with LO 5.1.6.2 under Ubuntu 16. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create new presentation 2. Insert Audio/Video, select a video file 3. Go to presentation mode Actual Results: Video is scaled to full screen (which can badly change the aspect ratio, e.g. I have square videos that become stretched to 16:9). The slide (aprt from the video) is invisible. Right-clicking gives a menu, but there is not menu item to leave full screen mode, just the usual menu for navigating to other slides. There is also no option to avoid full-screen mode in the Media Playback (right sidebar). With Slide Show>Slide show settings, I can have the slide in a window, but the video still covers all of the slide (and flickers badly). Expected Results: Video should be shown in its box in the slide, as it was with LibreOffice 5 (using the same .odp and videos). A separate option to have it full screen would be nice, but this should not be the default behavior. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Unbuntu 18.04.1 LTS, Core i7-8550U, using Intel graphics in the CPU. Linux 4.15.0-42-generic #45-Ubuntu x86_64 GNU/Linux. LibreOffice Version: 6.0.7.3 Build ID: 1:6.0.7-0ubuntu0.18.04.2 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group Same problem with "Hardware acceleration" disabled in Tools>Options>Libreoffice>View Same problem in "Safe mode" (I even created a new presentation there). The problem seems to be independent of the video codec (H.264, cinepak) and container format (avi, mov). I had to install the following to make LO show videos at all (Firefox could show videos also without this). apt-get install gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly gstreamer1.0-libav
Thank you for reporting the bug. it seems you're using an old version of LibreOffice. Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.
No such problem with LO 6.1.4.2. Let's hope we will get a "conservative stable" version with the bugfix via the Ubuntu software updater soon - I have somewhat unpleasant feeling using an "early adopter" version for important work.
Thanks for retesting with the latest version. Setting to RESOLVED WORKSFORME as the commit fixing this issue hasn't been identified.
This problem is still the case on LM(18/19)-Cinnamon. I don't have this issue any longer on Ubuntu. Looks like a Cinnamon-issue.

I found a workaround here: https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/157815/impress-6-in-ubuntu-1804-video-playback-only-as-full-screen/ One should replace the package libreoffice-gtk3 by libreoffice-gtk2 It worked for me in Linux Mint 19.2 LO Version: 6.3.3.2 Build ID: 1:6.3.3-0ubuntu0.18.04.1~lo1 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk2; Calc: threaded.
