There seems to be an issue that renders embedded videos from both youtube and vimeo to playback in fullscreen mode directly from the forum. The issue is that when a video starts playing and I click on the fullscreen icon, the video briefly enters fullscreen then immediately snaps back to the forum but in a different location. The video seems to keep playing although you have to find it in the thread again. Weird.

I’ve noticed this on 2 different OS X systems using Safari and my work craptop running Windows 8 and IE.

I had that same problem too so I guess this is a thing indeed.

seen this also. all we can really do is wait for the discourse maintainers to apply a fix.

Someone could post to meta.discourse.org describing the issue. Might speed things up.

this is a known issue, and is caused by a bug within safari and chrome, which both use a webkit rendering engine.

workarounds: click the YT icon embedded in the video to launch it in a new tab. or use Firefox, which doesn’t have this bug.
