This behavior can also be observed on Amazon Prime:

1. Play an Amazon Prime video.
2. Resize and re-position PiP in between 2 screens.
3. Click on "Next" (episode).
   Expected result: The PiP keeps its last size and position.
   Actual result: The PiP resets its size and position to default.

Furthermore, it cannot be reproduced on Netflix as the PiP closes when a "next" button is clicked.
