VLC on MacOS 10.14.6

After 2 Supplemental Updates from Apple, VLC still acts weird.  The menu graphics are torn when the VLC player is active on screen.  VLC has become very usable until the 10.14.6 as it plays mkv files and can scale or crop video into my LG 2560x1080 screen.  Too bad VLC is screwed up now.  A search on Google says this is not an individual isolated experience, it does affect a certain user base who uses NVIDIA graphics.  VLC believes it's the implementation of the macOS that wreaks havoc on the screen.

UPDATE 1/9/2020
VLC hasn't had an update to address this issue as I think it's considered a problem with Apple's OS.  In the indefinite wisdom of the internet, somebody in November updated the thread regarding this issue and gave us the work around, just uncheck the whatever Display transparency in the System Pref, and viola, the issue goes away.  No matter torn screen graphics.

This is basically a Dorothy yellow brick road kind of story.  Also, something to do with the new replaces the old, the circle of life thing....
