Bug#1069987: mpv: Man page should note that --ontop functionality doesn't work on Wayland
Package: mpv
Version: 0.37.0-1+b2
Severity: normal
Currently forcing a window to be on top on a Wayland environment is not a
problem that has a good solution. The man page for mpv should note that on
Linux the --ontop option only works with X11 not with Wayland. Currently
people are misled to believe that it will work which leads to wasting time.
