That some black bars appeared where there were none before, but that not
the whole area that needs them is covered by the black bars. The black
bars do not extend far enough.

On the Ubuntu 18.04 system with external monitor in addition to the
built-in screen, the external monitor is 16:10, the built-in 16:9.
It seems to me the windows aspect ratio is not always updated
completely, i.e., not for drawing black bars when using vo xv.
