Hi there,

I have MouseWheelUp assigned to "louder" and MouseWheelDown to "quieter" - however VLC will only react on MouseWheelMovements when I am in fullscreen. It does nothing in Windowed mode. This is the same for many more controls.

Help !?

Yeah I have a similar. Sometimes the hotkeys just stop working. Sometimes it gets fixed if I toggle fullscreen, sometimes I have to restart VLC.

Waiting for the 090 new interface thingie, hoping it will get fixed.

This has been an issue, like forever using VLC. Switching to full screen and then back to a Windows mode generally resolves the issue. In 0.8.6 the issue was addressed for the first time and it does respond better than prior versions.
