VLC window STUCK on top of display and CANNOT BE MOVED - Any ideas?

Question

This is what I am up against. I just installed the new version of Lubuntu and VLC is stuck in this position with the top bar hidden out of the display.

Any ideas?

Try to reset the vlc-settings by using the command: `rm -rf ~/.config/vlc` — Stackcraft_noob, May 12 '18 at 19:50

Same happened to me in Raspbian. I discovered all you have to do is hold the Alt key, left click and hold on the VLC window and drag it where you want it.

I had the same problem. I reset my settings like @Stackcraft_noob. This brought my window in the center. The only work-a-round I have found is going to Preferences > Openbox configuration manager and clicking on the margins section and setting a top margin of 25px. It always moves to the top but never hides the menu bar.
