Comment:

 Many thanks to Clayton for a multitude of tests, screenshots, and logs
 while chasing down these issues.

 Issues 1 and 2 are fixed by keeping all caption text and background fully
 within the safe area (148314b2961f0db6eba5524d1ddee95f4b2767e2 and
 efcfee33fc77d1e9acbaf54c2fe44b5fc28bf0a5).  This may also have involved
 bugs in older nvidia drivers.

 Issue 4 is improved by tightening vertical spacing to meet expectations
 (f7b7f61cb43a2022cb5faed608561bdd5fd64ae3).

 Issue 3 appears to be a font problem.  The "SM" special character
 displayed in the FreeMono font at timecode 01:01:01 (as displayed by the
 clock in the test video) is wider than the rest of the (monospaced)
 characters, and QFontMetrics may be calculating the width too small,
 leading to clipping.  This doesn't happen on my system, so it is probably
 an issue with some versions of FreeMono.ttf.

 Please open a new ticket for issue 3 if it becomes more widespread.
