With `media.autoplay.enabled.user-gestures-needed` set to false and `media.autoplay.default` set to 1 (block audio), which is the default (and other autoplay-related settings in their defaults as well), a Twitch video can only be either paused or playing muted; unmuting the video pauses it and vice versa.
== Steps to reproduce ==
1. Open about:config
2. Search for autoplay in the settings
3. Set media.autoplay.enabled.user-gestures-needed to false
4. Set media.autoplay.default to 1
5. Open a Twitch VOD, for instance https://www.twitch.tv/videos/280106033
6. Try to unmute the video
== What happens ==
The video is unmuted, but also paused
== What I expect to happen ==
For the video to continue playing, unmuted

Whereas for root it still works:

For a workaround (from upstream report) with non-root, specify –type luks1:

Oh and I’m using Wayland, in case it matters here. Haven’t yet tried whether Xorg is similarly affected.
When trying to start a virtual machine with Gnome Boxes, I get a prompt about keyboard shortcuts. The prompt text is localized, but translated back to English (I think, based on [1]) it says:
Boxes wants to inhibit shortcuts
You can restore shortcuts by pressing Super+Escape.
In my locale (Finnish), it says
Sovellus Boksit haluaa rajoittaa pikanäppäinten toimintaa.
Voit palauttaa pikanäppäinten toiminnan painamalla Super…
(sic; see attached photo)
So the actual key combination is truncated, defeating the point of that part of the text.
This isn’t a localization error (AFAICT; see [2]). It’s caused by the text being forced to fit on a single line of an arbitrarily fixed width, instead of wrapping to span as many lines as needed.
(I’m reporting this against gnome-shell as opposed gnome-boxes based on [3]. Feel free to reassign as necessary.)

For some of the depressing history of this, see bug #875002 (which has been incorrectly marked as fixed by someone without a clue) from way back in 2011.
I’m using 20.04 and a Wayland session. My preferred focus mode is to have it follow the mouse cursor:
$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences focus-mode
’mouse’
Unfortunately this causes GTK apps’ popup (RMB) menu to jump to the app window corner when opened. I’m attaching a screencast, where I demonstrate the bug first, then reset focus-mode to ’click’ to demonstrate the bug no longer manifesting. (Please excuse the flashing. It’s just a video artefact caused by Gnome’s built in screen recorder, which was the only one that at least somewhat worked.)
This has been reported upstream, where a fix was recently merged: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/1103
Happy to report that the proposed packages did fix the issue for me also. Thanks everyone!
@Marcus: yup, that seems to be it:

Still present in 20.04 (Focal) with vlc 3.0.9.2-1, though here at least it seems to only affect some URLs, not all. When I view a stream from my local webcam, vlc -vvv in the terminal shows
main playlist debug: incoming request – stopping current input
as the final message, and does not exit (after closing the window; Ctrl-Q still works). But when streaming from Wowza’s RTSP test stream [1], vlc exits just fine after closing the window.
Debian bug 916595 [2] and related VLC ticket [3] mention disabling hardware acceleration as a workaround, but even so I was unable to make it work (i.e. exit properly).
Possibly related: Ubuntu bug #1847162. There’s also been discussion about the issue over on Manjaro forums [4].
