Bug Description

Description of the problem:
When using gstreamer to play one particular video a vertical green line will appear if the window is dragged off the top of the screen.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Download the attached video (dur.flv).
2. Run
gst-launch-0.10 playbin uri=file:///$PWD/dur.flv
.
3. While the video is playing quickly drag the window so that it is partially of the top of the screen.

Expected result:
Video to keep playing with no artifacts / green lines.

Actual result:
Colours go strange and a green line appears through the video.

How reproducible is the problem:
It is reproducible every time.

It does sound like a decode issue, but it might be worth trying http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~ickle/drm-intel/ drm-intel-next for the overlay fixes. Unless of course you are not using the overlay in that pipeline...

The issue is still here with the stock Ubuntu drivers when using 2.6.36-rc3-00114-g23a0d9e from drm-intel-next. Just as easy to reproduce as ever (so longer as you have gstreamer to hand).
