Anyone else have the problem of VLC's text disappearing, then re-appearing on it's own? Any ideas on how to fix this?

You mean like the menus and statusbar? That's a bug in VLC. Just bring another window to the foreground and switch back.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Actually, what had happened (I think) is that somehow the user language got changed, and was a language my computer didn't support (maybe chinese) so it didn't show any characters. I had to blindly find my way to preferences (which still had english sub headings), and find the pull down to switch back to american english. I think the computer I was on was set to Chinese before I was using it. Thanks for your help.
