Chrome/Chromium based browsers - YT videos - No full screen issue

[cz4rr]

To reproduce:

Start Chrome with default settings on Cosmic Desktop -> Open YouTube -> Open any video -> Press full screen.

Result:

Video does not go full screen - user needs to click again to have full screen video.
To exit full screen, press and hold Esc message appears.
User actually NEEDS to hold Esc to exit full screen which is a nightmare.

Expected Result:

Video should open in full screen seamlessly.
Video should exit full screen mode seamlessly when pressing Esc once.

Workarounds:

Found only this workaround: start chrome with this flag: --ozone-platform=x11
With x11 backend it works as expected but performance is bad.

This issue is present since Alpha.

I've had a similar issue with firefox, except it would take up like 90% of the screen and the rest of the monitor would be grey, but the controls bounding boxes are in the right spot even though the graphic is being rendered incorrectly

Some users reported seeing same on FF. I am able to reproduce this on Chrome and Chromium, maybe someone else will chip in.

That sounds like #487, which was recently fixed

The Chromium issue sounds similar to #1642.

The Chromium issue sounds similar to #1642.

Looks like it's the same issue with additional details provided here.

Found this workaround today - run Chrome / Chromium /Brave with following args. Not seeing significant negative performance impact:

google-chrome-stable --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecode,VaapiVideoEncode --ozone-platform=x11

--ozone-platform=x11 is pretty bad idea. --ozone-platform=wayland is preferred.

Can you elaborate? As I understand it it's extra compatibility layer and I expect performance drop but it's the only way to make this work.
Using --ozone-platform=wayland reintroduces the issue.

using --ozone-platform=wayland reintroduces the issue.

That's not expected behavior, it should be fixed instead of using X11

[bodasadallah]

I still have this issue, is there a fix for this?

[atiq-cs]

--ozone-platform=wayland seems working right now.

However, I do have to press "f" twice for youtube. First press, makes it what F11 does: make the browser full screen. Next press makes the youtube video player full screen.

For hulu streaming single press of "F" works.

I have the same issue with Chrome. Do we need to provide any additional details? If so, can you describe what we need to share?

[misterben]

Just noting that this issue is also reproducable on the Dazn website - clicking on the full-screen button makes the browser full screen and you have to click again to get the video fullscreen.
