Please provide as much detail as possible so we can most efficiently resolve your problem.


Description of the issue:
Full screen mode for any video on the browser cancels split view
How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Start Split view on android, have a video playing in one view and another app active in the other window.
  2. Enable full screen on the video view.
  3. Split screen cancels and the video becomes full screen. If you cancel full screen, the video view returns to normal but the other app view becomes a grey box.

Expected result:
The split view with the video enters full screen whilst the second view is the app that is already active..
Brave Version( check About Brave):
v1.79.118
Mobile Device details
Samsung Tablet S9 Ultra and Z Fold 5
Additional Information:
This is a version issue, before my Z fold 5 auto-updated, I was having this issue on my tablet which was already the noted version. After my Z fold 5 auto updated, it started having this same issue. The issue applies to any video playing on the browser that allows full screen mode.

Thanks for reporting, does it still happen on 1.79.119?

It still happens for me on 1.79.119.
Same issue on a S22 Ultra.

I don’t seem to have v1.79.119 update available for Android (unsure if it’s because I am on One UI 7 or not), but it looks like someone else still have the issue.
