if i run vlc (the program to watch videos), it opens 2 windows. the window is shows me is the video window, and it starts playing the video. but i can't tap on anything. none of the controls work. this is because there is another vlc windows that opened as a first-run pop-up that has a question about accessing media information online. the window has a checkmark next to "allow metadata network access" and a continue button. i cannot uncheck the box or tap continue, those controls do not work. all i can do is swipe the window away in phosh to close it. then i have control in the vlc video window.

but this happens every time i load vlc, and there's nothing i can do about it as a user.

i would like it if i could interact with the pop-up, so i can deselect "allow metadata network access" and press continue.

note: tapping on vlc controls and menus in vlc does work (apart from some things going off the screen), so i don't know why this pop-up is not accepting input.
