Bug Description

When I play an mp4 file:
Wyklad2_HQ.mp4: ISO Media, MP4 Base Media v1 [IS0 14496-12:2003]
(more details below)
the VLC window is black (audio plays ok), but the progress bars is shown twice (both copies fully functional). One is at the bottom of the window, as it should be. The other copy is through the middle (horizontally) of the window. The menu is hidden by a black rectangle.
