mpv "some-gif-file.gif" fullscreen and quit, auto exits/kills wayland/ "logs out"

[Zenaan Harkness <zenaan@gmail.com>]

Using mpv for media - videos, music and gifs.

Running mpv to view a gif, e.g:

mpv /usr/share/cups/doc-root/images/wait.gif

 - then immediately type "L" to loop (so mpv does not exit too quickly)

 - then type "f" to make mpv full screen

 - then type "q" to quit mpv

this causes wayland to die/ auto "logout" to occur, losing all my
terms and other apps, and having to log back in.

Any ideas?
