Unity shown over fullscreen VLC video

[Benjamin Drung]

When moving the mouse in a VLC fullscreen video, Unity is shown over the video for a short time.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Open a video with VLC.
2) Double click on the video. VLC will go into the fullsrceen modus. The mouse cursor will be hidden.
3) Move the mouse.

The VLC control bar is shown, but Unity (the side and top panel) is also shown over the video for a short time.

ok, reproduced

Same problem here. If it really bothers you, you can go into VLC Settings and untick "Display controls during full screen mode". It will disable the controls in full screen mode and you won't have that annoying panel anytime you move the mouse, you will also still be able to pause the movie using the space bar key. It's not the best solution but it's all I could find.

This issue occurs with smplayer, VLC, and totem.

I found a workaround for this issue.

1) Install and execute "CompizConfig Settings Manager"(execute ccsm on the shell)
2) Visit general>compositing and remove !(class=Vlc) from "unredirect match" to solve the issue for VLC only
Or set "unredirect match" to "(all)" to solve the issue for every application.

I have a sort of similar issue: In a multiple monitor setup, whenever a menu pops up (such as using the menu bar or the overlay from Firefox's address bar) the shell appears over the VLC fullscreen view and goes when the menus close.

In a dual monitor configuration the launcher and panel appears over fullscreen apps whith tooltips too
