Problem Description

Not sure if this is VLC problems or XMonad's. However, on the latest version of VLC the volume scrolling will also scroll the position. Appropriate setting are done in setting. When in fullscreen the control menu is not visible.

Checklist

• [ ] I've read CONTRIBUTING.md

• [ ] I tested my configuration with xmonad-testing

You generally want to use an EWMH-enabled config with programs like vlc. See https://wiki.haskell.org/Xmonad/Config_archive/Template_xmonad.hs_(darcs) second example.

@geekosaur link broken. "wiki.haskell.org/Xmonad/Config_archive/Templatexmonad.hs(darcs)" works but does not show how to enable ewmh.

Anyway I do have ewmh enable with fullscreenEventHook.

Is this still an issue? Can you please include a screenshot/video of the problem, or a better description of how to exactly reproduce it, what you expect to happen and what happens instead?
