would like VLC to NOT run always on top but am having no luck

Question

I'm running Linux Mint. I'd like VLC to NOT run "always on top", but it only runs that way.

I've tried:

• View : Always On Top (unchecked)

• right click top bar, uncheck Always On Top

• starting vlc with this command: "vlc --no-video-on-top"

So far no luck.

Any ideas? Thanks so much.

Hooray! I found the answer. This solved all of my problems:

Tools > Preferences > Video > Output change to "OpenGL GLX video output(XCB), save and restart vlc.
