Pip does not hide the controls
- Its broken again since 2 builds. 77.0.220.0-77.0.222.0
There is a bug report here for Chromium:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=985908&q=component%3AUI%3EShell%3EWindowManager%3EPictureInPicture%20&colspec=ID%20Pri%20M%20Stars%20ReleaseBlock%20Component%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20OS%20Modified
But I don't know why, the Project Member responsible for this bug is not testing the right thing and is claiming the bug cannot be reproduced! He's testing the mini-player inside YouTube instead of the PiP. Both are very different things, the mini-player of YouTube is just a feature of the website that's available on any browser, not a UI element of Chromium like PiP.
I only see this bug on a touchscreen, so maybe Microsoft should look at it themselves, since touch support is a big deal in Windows 10 and for Surface devices.
This is not fixed on my Surface Pro 6, tested with Dev and Canary a few minutes ago, all up-to-date. Maybe the touchscreen of the Surface is confusing PiP mode, but the overlay won't go away after a few seconds, and it doesn't even detect that the mouse is not over the PiP window anymore. It's working as intended on my desktop, without a touchscreen.
