Fullscreen YouTube Videos Still Show Dock and Menubar?

I'm using Safari 5.0.1 and OS X (10.6.4)

Whenever I watch YouTube videos now, the menu bar and dock still show over the video.
This was recently happening to me in the Firefox 4 Beta 2, but not Firefox 3.6.
This is the first time I've seen this happen in Safari. The only extensions I have installed are:
-Google Search Cleanup
-Adblock Plus (I've disabled hiding ads in YouTube videos)
-ClicktoFlash, which isn't actually a recognized extension. It is currently disabled, though.

Can anyone help me with this?

15" MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

HI,

You aren't alone with this issue. Please go to your Safari Menu Bar and click Safari/Report Bugs to Apple. The more users report bugs, the sooner a fix.

Your's is the 5th report for this problem in the past two or three days in this forum.

Wish I had better news.

Carolyn 🙂

I found an easy way of getting rid of the menu bar and dock when you are in a full screen video. Just click something on the menu bar to bring up a menu and then click it again to close the menu, the menu bar and dock will also disappear.

Hi I just noticed that I have the same problem, so what do we need to do. I already report this issue using Safari´s bug report tool.

It really annoying to see the tool bar and dock during full screen view in youtube!!

you can make it disappear by clicking the menu bar but it's not a solution rather a workaround, temporarily i hope.

what is really strange for me was that:-
1) it only started yesterday, and i did not make any changes nor install anything new
2) it's still working fine in my other mac i.e. full screen with the dock disappear into the background

but could it be adobe's flash issue? have googled there but found nothing on this.

Yes. It is still a problem, Apple. For me "Autoplay" (in the dock) is set to "on" by default. This means that if I am writing a comment when the video ends, YouTube flips straight to the next video in my subscription list and my unfinished comment is lost.

Thanks anyway. At least I know it's a bug and just something Apple has to fix.

Even me, I reported this bug to Apple, I haven't installed and extension though, so it's Safari itself that is causing this error.
(Safari 5.0.1)

Thanks
