When playing youtube videos full-screen, I can't mouse-interact with the player controls, except for the slider (only single-clicking on the video works as play/pause, but not double-click, interestingly, so the only way to leave full-screen mode is via Escape).

Is this behavior known? What can I do about it?

I'm on Ubuntu 12.04, using Google's Chrome browser.

P.S. If that matters, some other flash players I've tried also display the same problem, so this may be an issue with Google-supplied Flash plugin.

Thanks in advance.
