The VideoLAN Forums

I usually move the VLC window to the top-left corner of the screen. When I tried to open the Effects and Filters window on 1.1.0-pre3, at first I thought I wasn't working but then I realized that it was actually opening it but the window was off the screen.

It can be solved if you open the Effects and Filters window at least once before moving the main VLC window so that it remembers its position, but it still seems to me kinda like a minor bug for it to -potentially- have windows appear offscreen.

I've just noted that this only happens the first time you try to open the Effects and Filters window. That is, try to open the Effects and Filters window; if it goes offscreen, close VLC and open it again. Now the Effects and Filters window will open at a valid position.

Update the bug.
