Description:

Using vlc 3.0.1 with any --vout option (except openGL) produces a flashing non reproducing windows. I tried the options: ``aa``, ``caca``, ``glx`


Additional info:
* package version(s)
VLC media player 3.0.1 Vetinari (revision 3.0.1-0-gec0f700fcc)

* config and/or log files etc.

The outputs are:

Issue is still present with VLC 3.0.2.
