Comment 4 for bug 797750

Omer

You know I wish I can figure out (under Unity) how better to capture some of
this. Unfortunately, things I used to be able to do in previous ubuntu
under gnome 2 don't seem to be so easy now under Unity.

Explaining it in words is almost as much as I can do.

1) I start VLC
2) VLC displays an empty PLAY LIST
3) I right-click on the play list for ADD A FILE
4) browse and pick say an MPEG file to "play"
5) at that point SOMETIMES VLC will return an start showing the movie
SOMETIMES it won't ... the movie IS playing BUT I'm left at the PLAY LIST
screen with no apparent way to get back to the VLC
    screen showing the Movie I'd selected.
-or-
5.1) after doing step 4 VLC returns to #5 but instead of being full screen
display of the PLAY LIST... VLC is actually just slightly LESS than full
screen (on the top of the VLC window only).
      When this happens ... I lose all mouse click response in Unity. What
I mean by that is that I cannot get the mouse to display the Unity Launcher
any longer, I can't click on the little Ubuntu symbol in
      the Upper Left of the Window to display the Apps/Search (whatever its
called) panel. I've had times when my only alternative was to Click the
upper right Switch and select LOG OUT and then LOG
      back in.

IF I could figure out how to get a screen capture while this is going on I
would be the non-responsiveness means I can't even bring up the snapshot
tool to do so

So far VLC is the only app I've had this kind of strange behaviour with.

sorry.

at this point
