If I set aspect ratio 2.35:1 and have to make the window smaller for some reason the setting is not being used anymore. It falls back to default even though in the settings it still shows 2.35:1. That happens with all aspect ratios.

The same is happening with zooms, repositioning of the window etc.

It is like that for over a year now. In the past that was never an issue.

Also I have a 3D-Movie and the 3-D setting does not switch to the correct aspect ratio after setting it to mono. Setting it to 2.35:1 does NOT show the movie in the correct aspect ratio but compressed horizontally. The only thing that seems to be working is using --video-aspect=2.35:1 in the options. But as soon as I resize the window it again forgets the setting, falls back to default and I have to delete the line, apply the deleted option and then copy it in and apply again.

I updated to smplayer-19.10.0-x64 but the problems keep persisting.

Does it still happen if you select another video output in preferences -> general -> video?

On default and direct3D it doesnt save and jumps back to the default setting after resizing it (doublecklick). The setting still shows 2.35:1 (or whatever I set it to) and I have to klick the aspect ratio twice (goto menu, klick it, goto menu again, klick it again - thats very annoying) to go back to the desired setting.

That happens everytime I put SMplayer in fullscreen mode or back to a smaller window and ofc just with videos who´s aspect ratios are not correctly recognized or those I have to zoom in because of a smaller than full screen format.

On GPU it remembers the zoom setting and the aspect ratio. The 3-D settings ignore the mono setting though and no matter what I do it stays stereo when I play a 3-D-movie.

On YT are vids that just use part of the screen. When I adjust the video to fit my screen (with e and alt+arrow buttons) and I resize everything is reset as well. That was actually always the case but I wish it would memorize the position after adjusting that too.

I cannot reproduce those problems in my computer, even when using direct3d.
Maybe it's a problem with your graphic card drivers.

I deleted the settings folder and reinstalled smplayer, that seemed to fix all the problems.
