  If the overlay-scrollbar packages are removed menu windows open, vlc complains about module not able to be loaded & menus are not as accessible as they should be. 
  If vlc is opened with export LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 && vlc then all is well. 
  As I understand overlay-scrollbars is not going to be used or something like that, hence yet again starting bug on vlc though other packages like calibre may be affected & or the cause
