To my surprise, I just reproduced this issue. It obviously stays in fullscreen if you're playing multiple items in a row. However, as soon as an item stops, you're going back to windowed mode and you dragging another file in, it will play in windowed mode instead of fullscreen.
Obviously, this is wrong.

Would you mind filing a ticket about this on http://trac.videolan.org/vlc? You don't need to register. Any OpenID login (like Google, Yahoo…) will work.

This option is not related to the described issue.

Well, sure, by fixing the bug. It should be fairly straight forward, but I need to double-check on VLC's behavior on other platforms.

As a workaround for now, I have added a button on my remote to toggle full-screen back on, but I'd really prefer not to have to do that every time.
ok.

Best regards,
