all.

I think the size of the video that's shown is random each time you play
something or resize the window. I tried for example to go from windowed to
fullscreen (by manually clicking the menu option under "Video"), it
suddenly displayed more of the video. I also noticed that when opening
different videos, or even the same video, the size of the video shown
varies.

I forgot to mention earlier that as a temporary fix, you can untick the
"Integrate video in interface" option under "Interface" in VLC's preference
(simple view), that should enable you to see the videos and switch to
fullscreen by double-clicking.
