Reimar,

This is slightly related, and forgive me for trying to get this one in 
there, but it's also an old subtitle bug that's been hanging around for 
awhile ... matroska videos with VOBSUB will automatically display the 
subtitles regardless of user config.  You have to hit 'j' on the 
keyboard to get them to go away.

Found a sample in archives that does it:

Using r29054

Thanks
