VLC hangs and crashes: Mac style full screen panel

[san]

VLC hangs first and crashes when I mouse over on the mac style full screen panel when it is disappearing (like the moment that it becomes half transparent). I used intel binary.

Thanks

I have also been experiencing a lot of crashes lately. Mostly when playing x264 files and changing settings, e.g. from some weird setting to 16:9. But also on random occasions when choosing subtitles and every now and then when forwarding/rewinding.

The bad part is that when it crashes it kills the sound on the entire machine. Really bad. I use the Spdif output on the macbook but I think it crashes analog sound too.

I still haven't found out how to get the sound back without restarting OSX. Any help anyone?

On the forums I found that this is a known bug that will be fixed in the next release. Until then, disabling the GUI will fix that. To do that:

-File > Preferences
-Click "advanced" checkbox
-Click on the interface > uncheck "Show Interface With Mouse"
