>Description:
I upgraded ports today Aug 10. The upgrade didn't upgrade vlc but it did upgrade some libraries on which vlc depend. After the upgrade vlc began to behave badly. When vlc is started X11 doesn't process keyboard input anymore. Mouse still works and focus appears to follows mouse. If I move focus to another window keyboard input doesn't reach the window. Only thing that happens is that the frame of currently focused window blinks. The same thing happens even if I start vlc with dummy interface. I tried two window managers and the effect was the same.  

The only way to recover from this is to switch to another virtual console and kill vlc from there. 

Below is the list of packages vlc depends on that are installed on the computer.
