The following fixed it for me:

1. Delete everything in the VLC Config folder (Althought you only need to delete the single config file I did all Just in case)

rm -fr ~/.config/vlc/*

2. Execute the variable mentioned in the comments above:

LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0

Now execute any video with VLC. The subtitles should work now. The video rendering should be fine again.

NOTE: If you only do LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 it might not work, that is why I mention deleting the config files.
