Thank you for your bug report, what packages did you upgrade to get the issue?

Does it do it on any video format?

I don't know what package upgrade caused the problem because I just run apt update+upgrade and the upgrade changed a lot of packages. If needed I may attach \var\log\apt ... please let me know if You need it.

I have the problem with some
webm 1600x1200 codec VP8
webm 2048x1526 codec VP8
mp4 1280x720 H264 (baseline profile)
but not with an mp4 400x224 (constrained baseline profile)
avi 1600x1200 MPEG-4 video (simple profile)
I see this info clicking on the video and selecting 'properties' but I don't know a terminal command to see the same (and may be more) info.

I see the problem with an installation with totem: 3.25.90.1-0ubuntu3

But I don't see the problem with another installation with totem: 3.25.90.1-0ubuntu2 running on same hardware different partition.
(on this installation i have a different problem with totem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gstreamer1.0/+bug/1711067

for both installations I have
libgstreamer1.0-0:
  Installed: 1.12.2-1
  Candidate: 1.12.2-1
  Version table:
 *** 1.12.2-1 500

After reading notes in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=787328 I changed my 'locale' from Italia to United States and the problem disappeared, so I can confirm this bug is the same.
Thanks.
