Just updated to the latest version of VLC, 2.2.0 Weatherwax.
Having two separate windows open, the playlist (non-docked) and the media player (maximized, not fullscreen), with windows focused on the playlist, as soon as I hover (no clicking) the mouse over playlist window, it causes it to disappear to background, full screen immediately bringing the maximized media window to the foreground.
Prior to this update, this wasn't an issue. With the update, at first, I did the recommended install, saving preferences. After encountering the issue, I then uninstalled VLC, cleared all traces of it and did a fresh, clean install of VLC. Same problem. After scouring the Internet, I've been unable to find a solution, hence creating this post.
Is this something I'm overlooking, or is this an actual bug?
