Toolbar "On top" does not work

Hi

I wonder if someone can help.

The toolbar "On top" does not work. I've updated to the last version and still the same.
When I go into preferences and select "toolbar on top", it shows in the pre-image what it's supposed to do, but does not honour it.
I close the preferences, even restart the program, but the toolbar remains on the bottom.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug in VLC?

I'm using 64bit version on Windows 7 Pro 64bit

TIA

Anyone?

Maybe let me try again ... this is the problem ...
With the VLC toolbar on the bottom, I keep finding it interfering with Windows toolbar when I'm trying to navigate. Thus I want it on top of the video.
In the "Customize interface" undet "Tools", it gives us this option to select (see screenshot), BUT it does NOT implement it when I close the Customize Interface window. It remains unchanged.
Is there a way to make this happen? Is this a bug in VLC? Can I somehow get the VLC toolbar to be on top of the video?

Apparently, there was a bug filed on it, but not fixed.
https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/15306
There is a work-around on the bottom to make the setting work. Haven't tested it.
