Sorry for the delay, Paul. To answer your question, no. The problem has not been resolved. I've found that I can use KsysGuard to kill VLC and then I can load another video. But if I close VLC, it won't load another video without killing it or rebooting the system. I've replicated this on a desktop and my laptop. Thanks for the followup.
