Yes, I have noticed it too. Apparently it is enough to press Ctrl to
display the "Speed: x 1.00" message. It's like Ctrl, when pressed
alone, has the same function of the Backspace key.
Also, if you pause a video and press Ctrl (because you want to switch
to another desktop for example) the playback resumes.
It would be great if the new behaviour could be controlled with an
option or something, because, as said, this is a bit annoying to users
I think.
