Subtitles get rendered uncorrectly

In some instances, the subtitles (animated ones) don't get rendered as expected and that is supported by the fact that other players render it normally

Happens in the PC client too.

Description

Some of the subtitles from "some" videos get glitched and not rendered correctly like these two

  1. "https://mega.nz/file/n2Q3HQyI#47PtR96Z0KzpFyGaWobWFBuwcYGk_rlIefpGc8X_-UA" which has the entire subs glitching
  2. "https://nyaa.si/view/987109" which only some of the opening KFX is glitched in it(mostly the second half of the opening)

Expected behavior

It is supposed te render subtitles like mx player or mpv player did, which i recorded and uploaded here: Mx Player and on Mpv

Actual behavior

I recorded the actual behavior and uploaded it here.

Steps to reproduce

1.Use vlc without Hardware acceleration

2.play the video

3.bug happens

Screenshot / video

MPV's Behavior(Good)

Mx Player's behavior(Good)

Vlc's behavior(Glitched)

Context

I think it mostly happens when layers of subtitles happen to overlap multiple times a second

Note

I've reported this bug on email a time ago and didn't get a response so i decided to report here, hope it get fixed soon. Best of luck
