VLC can't unmaximize

[d.lingenbrink]

VLC will run, but it will only work in two settings (that I can switch between):

1. In full screen mode, which seems to work as normal with the controls disappearing when not in use and,

2. In what I will call "over-maximized mode", where I cannot see either of my above and below panels (where I launch programs, etc.) or the top of VLC, only the toolbar with "File, Edit, etc."

If I go to full screen and then go to "over-maximized," I can view the bottem panel where I can close the VLC player. I tried uninstalling VLC, but that did nothing. I deleted the files from /usr/bin, and now I get an error message that reads "Could not launch 'VLC media player'". Is there a way to do a clean restart, because using the Ubuntu Software Center did nothing, as well as doing: sudo apt-get install vlc-nox

Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi d.lingenbrink,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 538605

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
