I see the issue in the recording, but I can't reproduce it in a normal desktop browser (ChromeOS 128). I tried your demo link, and I tried throttling the network to trigger track changes, but nothing I did triggered the bug.

Does this only happen in WPE 2017?

If so, how would I get this version specifically? My version of Ubuntu seems to have "2.36.0-2" available, so I'm not sure how to compare that to "WPE 2017".

We found another browser configuration in which the above basic demo app actually plays back correctly. We will do some more investigation on our side and open a new issue if necessary. For now closing this one.
