I'm sorry if this isn't really a bug. I looked all over, and couldn't find a full list of forums, so I wasn't sure if there was a separate feature request board.

Anyway, the issue is that, on the old player, I could set a video to fullscreen on my second monitor and continue working on a primary monitor. Youtube has always allowed this, but the current player set to "Progressive" loses fullscreen when it loses focus.

Thanks, keep up the good work.

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, but if you're using Firefox, you can fix this by going into about:config and setting "full-screen-api.exit-on-deactivate" to false.
