Video playback glitch after un-suspending screen

I’ve also noticed this bug on the Mac desktop nightly build, but less often b/c desktops don’t go to sleep as often. When I turn the screen back on after the device goes to “sleep,” videos play back with a green bar added to the bottom on some frames. The way it happens most often is on invidio.us & youtube.com where there’s a green bar @ the bottom of the video player that flickers in & out of existence. Once or twice there was a solid green bar.

To reproduce this issue:

  1. Start playing a video
  2. Pause the video
  3. Put the device to sleep or wait for it to go to sleep on its own
  4. Wake the device up
  5. Un-pause the video
  6. If the glitch doesn’t appear, try again.

It seems to happen more often on invidio.us, but also occassionally on youtube or other sites. There is also sometimes a smaller white bar to the right instead of the green bar on the bottom.

I did another test. You may need to make the the video full screen before sleeping & contine playing windowed after waking the device up.

If you turn off Hardware acceleration, does it help?
