I have reproduced this problem with the Gnome Classic desktop In fullscreen mode this occurs on the change of minute and seems to be caused by the clock applet.
However, when viewing in windowed mode, any action on the desktop e.g. clicking on the Application menu, passing the mouse over the window list or clicking a button to take the screenshot will cause vlc to expand its window vertically to fit the screen I hope this is of some assistance. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot from 2012-04-24 11:39:35 - Windowed.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/977438/+attachment/3101078/+files/Screenshot%20from%202012-04-24%2011%3A39%3A35%20-%20Windowed.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/977438 Title: Ubuntu 12.04 gnome classic panel displayed on full screen videos Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: On Ubuntu 12.04 gnome classic, the gnome panel will always display when playing videos on full screen mode. Steps to reproduce: At login prompt change to gnome classic. Open a browser, go to youtube.com and select a video. Click the 'Full Screen' button to maximize. Gnome panel should disappear, instead it's still displayed. Attached screenshot. Edit: It behaves like this even when playing videos locally with a media player such as vlc. The gnome panel initially disappears but reappears after a couple of seconds. As a workaround before playing any videos on full screen, set the gnome panel to hidden. It will still show a 1px white border though.
