Youtube fullscreen mode sometimes broken

Description of the issue:

Hello everyone, Brave for Android user here.

Sometimes on Youtube I have problem with fullscreen mode, like in the photo:

I’ve found a past thread that discuss on this issue.

Are there any updates?

To me, it happens only when entering the full screen mode in not landscape mode, so with autorotation off also. If I rotate the screen first (and so the website), then tapping on the fullscreen button always give the correct fullscreen mode as a result.

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Go to Youtube.
  2. Open a video.
  3. Enter in fullscreen mode.

Expected result:

Sometimes the video appears shifted on the low side, partially disappearing.
I cannot reproduce this on Chrome (but here instead sometimes the screen becomes black for a second and then enter correctly in fullscreen mode).

Brave Version(check About Brave):

Mobile Device details

Samsung Galaxy S24.

Additional Information:

  • 720p/1080p doesn’t matter for my issue.
  • Firefox for Android and Samsung internet also don’t have this problem.
  • I got the first Android security patch update, nothing changed.
  • CPU Exynos 2400.

I get the same issue and to temporarily fix it quickly I usually flip the screen to the other landscape side and that provides the video back in proper lanscape view. Would be good to get this fixed and never have the issue.
