See also: The VLC bug that incorrectly applies right crops as left crops [1]. This bug report is from 2023, however the bug has existed as long as VLC has as far as I know.
I'm always surprised to see bugs like this where an extremely easy to test part of the spec just seemingly isn't tested and ends up as a bug that never gets fixed until many years later.
I firmly believe every product team needs to be split in two: one half works on the issue of highest importance, the other works on the easiest issues. If only to avoid the embarrassment of easy to fix bugs that were passed over for eons just because they weren't priority-high.
