On ubuntu 12.04 it is actually very easy to repro. Open the video in full screen mode, and move your mouse on the screen until the VLC controls shows up at the bottom of screen, and then double click on the fullscreen to switch VLC into window mode. As soon as VLC reaches window mode, the controls from the fullscreen remains (yes it is a visual artifact)
The workaround is that under full screen mode, do not move your mouse around (so that controls do not show) before switching to window mode. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/995014 Title: vlc controls stay after exit full screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/995014/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
