Can't resize VLC window

[vinushka]

When I open some videos, I think 1080p video, VLC opens to such a size that I can't drag it around to find the bottom right corner so I can resize the window. This is a problem when I want to have VLC open on top of my browser in a box-like window.

I've tried resetting all my preferences in Preferences but this doesn't work.

The instructions are pretty much the same in all of the above links.
