Usability Regression
I installed VLC 2.2.1 upgrading from VLC 2.1.3. Installation succeeded. The problem occurs using navigation keys during playback. There is now a most annoying pause of up to 10 seconds for the playback to continue after pressing any of the rewind or fast-forward keys. This was not the case with 2.1.3 and renders 2.2.1 virtually unusable. I reverted to 2.1.3 and the problem disappeared.
Is this a bug?
