Lion quicktime issues

I have installed OS X Lion and noticed 2 issues with Quicktime.

1) If I quit Quicktime with cmd+q, the next time I open Quicktime my previous video is loaded again together with the new opened video. Only clicking the close button will prevent the video from re-opening itself on the next Quicktime launch.

2) When switching to full screen mode with cmd+f the video is enlarged on the screen of my macbook and not the external screen the Quicktime windows was dragged in.

Both of these issues used to be different in the previous version, I do not see the logic behind these changes. Is there an option that can change these behaviour issues?

Macbook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.5)

For number 1: I think the only way is from System Preferences>General> uncheck "restore windows when..."

For number 2: I know that this solution is not the perfect one but, just use the maximize button on the second monitor. =/

I am having the same issue

In addition to the problems stated, the bottons on the upper left don't work. Also, you cannot move/reposition the window, or resize the screen manually unless you use the lower edge. you cannot resize the window any other way.

Anybody know if Apple is working on this?

I encountered the same issues as @Ricky Waters but I've also noticed when pressing the buttons Finder becomes the app of focus. I really wanted to make a screen recording on apple features and upload it to youtube. XD

I noticed the same problem. Did you use a Terminal command back in Snow Leopard to disable the rounded corners in QuickTime X? I had done that, and returning it to the default fixed the unresposive controls. Try copying and pasting the following into Terminal (without the quotes) and pressing Return:

"defaults write com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX MGCinematicWindowDebugForceNoRoundedCorners 0".
