Bad default window size on nVidia Surround enabled Windows system
I have a Windows 10 machine with an nVidia RTX 3060 GPU (Driver 471.96). I have 3 x 1920x1080 monitors, one attached to each DisplayPort outlet on the card. I have enabled the "nVidia Surround" feature on the driver which causes all 3 monitors to be presented to Windows applications as a single 5760x1080 display.
I opened a 1920x1080 MKV file containing AVC video, an audio and a subtitle stream by double clicking it from the Windows file manager
The standard behaviour I see from VLC when it selects the dimensions for the window I find suboptimal. It opens a window the fill width of all 3 monitors even though the width of the video to be displayed is only 1/3 of that. The window looks like this
The first time it did this, the position of the window wasn't top left of the desktop so it broke the video across the join in the two of my monitors. Every time I open a new file, it wipes out all 3 screen until I downsize it. If I tell VLC to go fullscreen by clicking the maximise icon at the top right, it jumps to the left hand monitor and only occupies one screen. If I select Fullscreen from the Video menu, it goes full screen on my middle monitor and blanks both side monitors.
The behaviour I was expecting was that it should limit the width of the window to 1920 pixels, the x dimension of the video rather than defaulting to opening a window the full width of the 5760 desktop. Please will you look into this? Thank you
