Ever since the beta versions of VLC appeared in Sid, I've been having this
issue where after playing a video, VLC's main window keeps getting pushed
behind tint2 (I have it set to show up at the top of the screen) and gets
slightly off-screen. Here's a screenshot to demonstrate what I
mean:https://i.imgur.com/Z6E8kp5.png (I apologise if linking to imgur
for
screenshots is frown upon here)
This makes it impossible for me to access VLC's menu, and also makes me
unable to move the window, except if I press Alt+Space and choose "Move"
from the drop-down menu.

Also, when I play a video, no matter what size it has, VLC always plays it
fullscreen, even when having that option disabled under Video in the
settings.

This sounds more like an Qt / tint2 interaction issue. Do you have similar
issues with outher Qt based applications?

I remeber fixes for fullscreen handing in 3.0.1/2. Is the situtation now better?

Cheers

I did have an issue like this with qBittorrent a few years back, but that I
could fix by using OBApps.
For some reason, OBApps can't detect the VLC window, so I'm unable to make
rules for it...
Other than that, I use 4-5 other Qt apps, and I'm not having any issues
like the one with VLC.

AFAIK yes, this has been fixed. Will check again to make sure, and will
reply in case it hasn't been fixed.

As always, I forgot about this bug.

Looking at this again, now with the latest version on Sid, I can confirm
that the fullscreen issue has been fixed at my end.

On the other hand, the issue with VLC annoyingly positioning itself where
it shouldn't still persists.
I've also noticed that this also happens with lxpanel, so it's not a tint2
specific issue.
