The VideoLAN Forums

I've encountered an annoying bug that I can't seem to work-around. When I programmatically add or modify widgets on the dialog box of my extension (e.g. add HTML, add an image, modify a label), the selected values in my dropdowns are reset to their defaults. I'm inclined to think that this is a VLC v1.1.10 bug, because it only happens once per session in both Windows and Linux.

For example, I start by clicking the menu item of my extension to open its dialog box. I then manually choose "Option 3" in a dropdown and click a button, which retrieves some information from the web. It then uses this data to modify a label and add HTML/image widgets. Immediately after these modifications are displayed, VLC unexpectedly resets the value of the dropdown to "Option 1".

To prove that the widget modifications were the cause, I disabled them in the code and reloaded the extension. After performing the same steps as before, the value of my dropdown was kept at "Option 3" after the web information was retrieved. I'm hoping someone can confirm that this is a VLC bug and tell me how soon it will be fixed. Let me know if you'd like me to provide any further details.

You probably need to file a bug report with a sample of the extension.

I can't login properly to the VLC bug tracker using my Google OpenID. When I try to submit a new ticket, it says "Your permissions have been limited until you verify your email address". I don't know why it's asking me to verify my email address at all, given that I just logged into it via my Google OpenID.

When I then click the 'verify' link, I get the "Your email is already verified" message. When I go ahead and verify again anyway, it has no effect and I get the "Your email is already verified" message again. How do I file a bug report about the bug tracker itself, given that it won't let me submit any tickets?
