VLC Disables Sound Buttons On Laptop

[rwhitisissle]

My utmost apologies if this issue has already been addressed, but I've searched the forum and have heretofore not discovered evidence of such.

The 0.9.2 build seems to have, for me, a strange quirk. Whenever I attempt to either lower, increase, or mute the volume using the sound buttons on the front of my laptop nothing happens. This problem goes away whenever I have VLC in full-screen mode, but whenever it's in the default, non-full-screen mode that appears whenever I immediately start a video the buttons simply don't work. If I click outside of the VLC window, the buttons work again.

Has anyone else encountered this problem, and, if so, does anyone have a solution?

Once again, my apologies if this issue has already been addressed.

Oh, and I'm sorry for being such a dunce, but what exactly am I supposed to do on the Trac website? I'm honestly not sure to file a bug report and I don't even really know what Trac is.
