VLC (Media Player) UDF + GUI Tabs = Bug?

[thepaulguy]

I have a GUI that I created that has Tabs in it. On one of the tabs I'm using the

I was using VLC 1.1.11 and it was working fine. I am trying to upgrade to VLC 2.0.0 and as far as I can tell everything works fine.

EXCEPT, there is a feature with VLC that enables you to double click the video and it will expand to fullscreen mode. With VLC 1.1.11 and tabs it worked, with version 2.0.0 and tabs it doesn't work.

I have narrowed it down to something between VLC 2.0.0 and the GUI Tabs. Using this code it will work fine. if you uncomment the lines that create the Tab, it will not work. If the only problem was that it didn't do anything, I could live with that, but once you double click the video it effectively breaks the entire GUI. Nothing in the GUI responds anymore until you CTL+ALT+DEL your system and then exit back to the desktop.

Anybody have any ideas on how to fix this?
