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.

No longer duplicate of this bug: 1825303

This bug is still present in v115.0.2 (Windows 10)

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

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.
