Any "Open" dialog makes VLC freeze for at least 10 seconds
On VLC > Media, any "Open" dialog makes VLC use 90% CPU and freeze for at least 10 seconds, then the dialog appears. It happens only for the first dialog opening. Any further dialog opening is ok, doesn't freeze and takes about half a second.
To reproduce the bug:
- Open VLC.
- On the "Media" menu, click on any choice: Open File... Open Directory... Open Disc... Open Network... Open Capture Device... Convert / Save... Streaming...
