What bug are trying to reproduce? My main problem is that "one of the recent (Thu, October 27 2022 21:24:56 -0400) Bookworm upgrades broke video playback in the VLC player for me. Was working fine before. The video (regular MP4 files) seems to be playing (the progress marker is moving) but instead of the video output only a blank black rectangle with the orange cone in the middle is shown. The VLC video output is set to "XVideo Output (XCB)", that's the only option that used to work for me but not any more."
Everything else are just side effects that I don't really care about.
