+Subject: [PATCH 1/2] overlays: don't reduce ASS texture width unnecessarily
+
+Fixes OpenELEC/OpenELEC.tv#3059 on GitHub, where an ASS subtitle
+texture could become too narrow to fit subtitle bitmaps in full,
+causing them to be inappropriately clipped. This issue has become
+obvious lately due to changes in libass that make it output wider
+(but fewer) images than it used to.
