VLC not closing properly
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

In the last week or two, when I finish watching a video in VLC and close it, the icon remains in the notification area. They build up the more videos I watch and close. I have to kill the process to get rid of the icons, ending the process does nothing.
I also noticed the setting for Continue Playback? doesn't work any more when set to either Ask or Always.
I'm wondering if this is because I transferred my HDD from my previous Dell Inspiron 15R laptop, which now does not work, to a HP Pavilion DV6.
This is the output for inxi -F https://hastebin.com/subibomono.makefile
Not sure why inxi shows "Desktop: MATE 1.20.1", System Monitor shows I'm on MATE 1.20.3: https://imgur.com/zD9ytbL

Is this still an issue?

Yes, VLC runs in background and doesn't open a video when I try to open it.
The only way to open the video the is to kill vlc and open the video then it works automatically.

I've done a fresh install of Solus 3 Mate on a new ThinkPad E480 and I don't have this problem now.
It may be affecting other Solus users who installed an older iso version originally.

I had this problem on other distributions too. I think its an upstream issue.

Could you please let me know if the problem still occurs after doing a fill system update ?
