VLC doesn't fit video to its window

[aitte]

Portrait orientation HD videos downloaded from Facebook and Twitter have this problem on VLC.

A maximized player window is displayed whenever the video is played, showing empty space to the left and right of the video.

No such problem for landscape orientation videos.

Screenshot of what I'm talking about:


See the black space to the left and right of the video?

I really hope this gets fixed, maybe force VLC to 'auto-fit' portrait videos to the last remembered window dimensions etc. Thanks!
