This is youtube's bug, not ours. They disable our (working) full screen UI and replace it with their own sorta-broken one... There are existing bugs on allowing their UI to take the video into real full-screen mode, but they'd have to change code on their end to do that.

OK, sorry, I didn't know. I hope You have some contacts in Google to discuss this issue.
Not a problem at all. Thank you for reporting the issue! The Google folks know about the problem, yes. They're choosing to override our UI for DRM-like reasons (make it hard to save the video), and the lack of a page-triggerable fullscreen API is something being worked on, as I said (there are security issues that need to be sorted out).
