1825310 - The cursor should hide along with the controls in fullscreen PiP

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Picture-in-Picture, defect, P3)

Description

[Daniel Bodea [:danibodea]]

Note

• The PiP controls and features should hide in non-fullscreen sizes as well, even when the user hovers over the PiP, but is stationary for more than 5 seconds.

Found in

• Nightly v113.0a1

Affected versions

• Nightly v113.0a1

Tested platforms

• Affected platforms: all
• Unaffected platforms:

Steps to reproduce

1. Play a video.
2. Launch the PiP.
3. Double-click the PiP, then stop moving the cursor.

Expected result

• I suggest hiding the cursor along with the controls.
• This should only happen when the cursor is left on the screen with the fullscreen PiP.

Actual result

• The controls hide after 5 seconds, but the cursor remains displayed wherever it is left.

Regression range

• Not a regression.

the following bugs are duplicates. Bug 1825303, Bug 1809736, Bug 1825310, I would suggest Bug 1825310 being the parent bug, since is not really a defect i believe. :mhowell

This bug is also present in 112.0, and I think it already appeared in 111.0.

Still not fixed in 117.0.1 (64-bit), Windows 10 22H2 64-bit.

I would suggest Bug 1825310 being the parent bug, since is not really a defect i believe.

I disagree, I think it's a bug / defect, because a cursor is automatically hidden in all video players I know, in fullscreen, even in image viewers a cursor is auto-hidden in fullscreen. If it's not hidden, it's considered as a bug in any video player/ image viewer.

Another reason, that it should be considered as a bug is, that other controls are auto-hidden too, in PIP fullscreen mode.

Cursor is hidden in standard fullscreen mode even in Firefox, if not using PIP, just double click the video from the main window.

After reviewing the issue again, I've decided that I'll close Bug 1853437 and Bug 1960277 as duplicates and mark this one as a defect, rather than an enhancement.
