VLC bugs

[ToddAndMargo]

Hi All,

Since I can no long log into the bug reporter (https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.ph ... 30#p536330). I will report here what I am having issues with and maybe developers would run with it.

vlc-3.0.18-2.fc37.x86_64
Fedora 37

Well I do have a ton on ogg and mp4's that range from 3 minutes to 10 minutes. I like to play music when I am working on my computer and I can't stand commercials and talking.

1) every time it changes files, it pops into the foreground. This destroys what I am typing and VLC starts to responds to my keystrokes creating even more havoc. (smplayer and parole do not.)

2) if I have it on "list", when a new file loads up, it switches to show video. That is my call, not their's. This wold ot be such a real problem if VLC would stay in the background. (smplayer and parole do not do this.)

3) when it switch to the foreground, the windows walks up the page. I like to put it on the lower left, but have given up and put in on the upper left to get it to stop walking up my screen.

I posted this bugs years ago when the bug reporter sill worked and ignored:

smplayer and parole stay put.

4) occasionally when it opens a new video, it scales about five times larger than my screen. All my task bars/panels are covered up. And no keystroke works to get it out. "Esc" is suppose to work, but only work about 1/5 the of the time. I am forced to <ctrl><alt><f2> ps and kill to get my screen back. (smplayer and parole do not.)

5) when operated on randomize and full screen, it will play for a while (about an hour) then park on the first file at the top and repeat it over and over. (smplayer and parole do not.)

Maybe it is for me for me to switch away from VLC?
