1744449 - URL in tooltip (?) persists on full screen video

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1850993

(Core :: Graphics, defect)

Description

[[:nickname]JN]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:94.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/94.0

Steps to reproduce:

Visited YouTube. Played a video. Went full screen.

Actual results:

Sometimes, the URL shows at the bottom of the screen - and shifts position when I move the pointed over it.

Expected results:

No URL obstructing the view.

I expect that there is an existing bug report. However, Bugzilla's (seemingly poor) search facilities did not help me to find an extant report.

[BugBot [:suhaib / :marco]]

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Audio/Video: Playback' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Hello. Sorry for the slow response: the problem is intermittent. Indeed I discover that sometimes - or on some combination of versions of Firefox and/or some operating systems - the symptoms vary. For, sometimes - only on Linux? and/or on a recent version of Firefox? - the tooltip gets stuck at the bottom left of the screen (until one moves the pointer over it, at which point the tooltip moves elsewhere). I found just now, on Firefox ESR on Windows, that the tooltip appears at a seemingly random place, hangs around for a while, and then disappears. I attach a screenshot of that latter behaviour.

It doesn't look like a media bug, but not sure where the best component is for this one, move to gfx text first.

Please add the 'Windows' tag. For, I find that, as my screenshot above shows, the problem affects Windows too.
