The x265 green-bars bug in combination with CropAdd has existed for more than five years. A programmer myself, my guess is, as both the codec and the CropAdd filter work well, that there is probably only a minimal correction in the VLC code required.
Steps to reproduce the error:
1. Tools, Preferences
2. Video, Filters, activate "Video cropping filter"
3. Video, Filters, CropAdd, set "Pixels to pad to bottom" = 74
4. Subtitles /OSD, set "Force subtitle position" = -74 (minus 74!)
5. Test with any x265-encoded video.
Additional testing/confirmation by me:
1. VLC version: v3.0.18 (confirmed for several versions back until v2.2.x)
2. Three different notebooks with AMD, Nvidia and Intel HD graphics.
3. OS: Windows XP, 7 and 10.
4. Other Codecs: x264, flv and wmv act normal (black padding appears).
