Do you have a Wacom tablet?

[Bobbybrown]

Nope. I don't have any sort of tablet.

Hey,

I experience the same issue recently on Win7 64 bit (and I have no tablet).
Even without VLC running my Windows GUI occasionally isn't clickable (this affects 3D apps as well as clicking on the taskbar or upper bar of an app). I can only get it working again by hitting CTRL+ALT+DEL and then back to the desktop.
VLC itself is affected too though the problem got worse recently, I can't even click on the control GUI of VLC (so can't change volume, jump to a specific time position etc). Uninstalled VLC, reinstalled, same thing. Even went back to 0.96 and same issue. So I believe I have 2 separate issues but similar behavior.

Could this even be related to VLC? If so, anything I can do to help you analysing the issue? What information do you need?

I have the same issue. Anyone found a solution to fix this?

VLC worked fine for months, now this started happening...

There seems to be an issue with the current version of vlc. I solved it by uninstalling vlc and removing all cached data, which is an option during the uninstall, and installing the previous version 1.1.9 instead. It can be found here, http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/1.1.9/.

Just remember to disable automatic update during the installation. This is just a temporary solution until this issue has been fixed.

I'm having the same issue as the OP

Has there been an official fix for this or does someone know how to fix this issue?

Likewise, I am having the same problem. I've tried all sorts to fix it, such as downgrading to 1.1.9, deleting the appdata vlc folder, reinstalling, and changing all sorts of settings such as hardware overlay and even moving to custom skins. A full uninstall or reinstall deleting preferences and cache does not yield any effect to me.

Hope there is only something simple I'm missing!
