Public bug reported:
It happened while I was checking multiple video files in a folder from
Nautilus.
Steps to reproduce:
- open Nautilus and double-click on a video file;
- vlc launches and starts playing the video;
- quickly close vlc.
vlc small icon stays on the top right zone of the top bar, I have access
to the menu but quitting does nothing, and an attempt to show the window
displays an empty white window. Sending SIGTERM does nothing.
I can reproduce it from the command line to:
/usr/bin/vlc --started-from-file /home/hadrien/video.mp4
then close immediately the window. Do it three or more times and vlc
will hang.
It happened with mp4 files. I could not reproduce the behavior with mkv
and webm files.
