In case someone else has the same problem and finds this thread: it appears
to have been a bug in Compton (https://github.com/chjj/compton), I'm
running the latest Git version and can't reproduce this issue anymore.
Hooray!

2. More detailed reproduce steps:<br>
- Run &quot;mplayer /path/to/video/file&quot; in a terminal on [screen 1]. A floating<br>
mplayer window should show up on [screen 1].<br>
- Press &quot;f&quot; key to make mplayer fullscreen.<br>
