VLC unable to display wide pictures

Just installed VLC 3.0.6 on both Ubuntu 18.04.2 and Windows 10. And I found that VLC is unable to display two of my pictures. Both pictures are very wide pictures, one has HxW of 9420x12360, and the other has 2938x13632.
Is there a known size limit?

I have two pictures in the directory: A.jpg (WxH = 12360x9420) and B.jpg (13632x2938). When A is double clicked in vlc, vlc tries first, after failing doing anything, vlc go straight to B.jpg. When B is double clicked in vlc, vlc shows a thumbnail on the lower left corner, then shows a progress bar for 10 seconds and stops.
Here is the debug message on A.jpg

Here is the debug message on B.jpg

The messages were generated with VLC 3.0.6 on Ubuntu 18.04.2.

Is it possible to increase the size limit in the future? Or at least, display a message when picture is over the size limit.

I am having issues with jpegs of resolution 3464 x 2309, which are not beyond the 8K limit, this is with the latest Raspbian release for the Pi 3B+. Please see my other post
