I don't have any special options for SMplayer. The video file does have
subtitles, yes, which are working fine.

No, I don't remember any behavior of that sort. The only mouse related issue I
have ever had was a couple of days ago, when the mouse cursor was replaced by a
stripled line, like two | on top of each other.

The original bug report was made while trying to trouble shoot video tearing
with Matthias, at which time I was just playing video.

Sounds exactly like when I played the video for a few seconds to provoke the
error.

I'm not sure but it seems to happen every time I play this video file.
I might just end up reinstalling with a different DE than Gnome, I have a
couple of more problems with it.
