Seek forward breaks playback on some H.265 MKVs

If I play some Matroska H.265 videos from start everything works fine but if I use seek forward (or choose any point in the timeline) playback stops and video freeze on the last frame before seeking. It acts as if the video was paused but I cannot resume it.

Seeking forward works fine in VLC (I can see hardware video acceleration in intel_gpu_top). I can seek forward with H.264 videos through gstreamer as well.

Most of my videos have that issue, I found an H.265 1080p (medium bitrate) demo mkv that acts similarly but here it does not freeze in every case. You must seek more that one minute soon after video starts. gst-play-1.0 H.265\ HVEC\ Test\ 1.mkv and then right arrow on the keyboard works probably best to reproduce this issue.
