Edge Dev - strange Video playing issue
find this flag: #enable-surfaces-for-videos
Set it to disabled and restart the browser.
Credit for this goes to a user in another thread (can't find the post right now).
Additionally, just like before, videos on Reddit are kind of flaky (https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/). When I view them on that page, the left 15% doesn't update as much and when you move your mouse over the left 1/4 and top 1/4, it stops updating altogether. These are embedded YouTube videos. HOWEVER, when I click on the link for that particular thread to come up, the video plays perfectly. Playing videos on YouTube.com work fine for me.

ArkansasBen77 This is a strange when reading through this discussion I opened the link on your original post and had the same issues that you described. After disabling the flag and reopening the link it seemed to work correctly. When I opened the link in your newest post I was experiencing the same issues as you. Did you disable the flag and go back to the link in your first post to see if there was any change?

SCook1280 - I disabled the flag as soon as I saw it above several days ago and it's still disabled.
The video link in my original post works fine now. I try to https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/ and the videos on that front page have problems on the left side and upper part of the videos. But when I click the headline and the thread pops up, the video plays fine.
Maybe I need to uninstall all versions and install the newest from scratch? Who knows.

ArkansasBen77 Yea same, I'll have to watch this discussion to see if one of the team shines a light on this problem. I also think that you should get a shirt for this one.
