I think there's been a lot of work in the past years on the subtitles display for VLC (but I might be entirely wrong).
I'm sure that if you still have those videos, the devs at videolan would be very happy to test them to repro that bug.

I have a collection of subtitled videos from several years ago. When I obtained them, I watched them in VLC with no problems.
A year or two ago, I had the urge to watch them again, and I wasn't able to use VLC, because it could no longer display the subtitles correctly. This prompted me to start using mpv instead of VLC, for pretty much everything. But I'm still confused at how VLC could have lost the ability to play files it once handled perfectly.
