11-11-2024 nightly crashes with classic interface

Using: https://artifacts.videolan.org/vlc/nightly-win64-llvm/20241111-0425/vlc-4.0.0-dev-win64-debug-0b9d74bd.7z

How to reproduce

First, clear %APPDATA%\vlc completely. Then start vlc.exe, it asks for metadata network access (which I disabled), remove the folder locations scanned by the Media Library, keep the System color scheme, then choose the Classic layout and hit Finish.

The main interface opens. Now either resize or hit the maximize window button (not 100% reproducable), or restart (always crashes after restart), and boom:

Alternatively, you can switch to Classic interface in the Preferences, hit save and boom.

Possible fixes

Don't select the Classic interface..
