Videos appear zoomed in

Just recently, Safari has started showing videos zoomed in. For example, on the BBC Weather site, if I click on the UK forcast I just get the presenter's chest. If I double-click on it I get it full screen, and it's fine, but if I press [esc] it goes back to being zoomed in in its box.

If I try to watch videos that allow you to re-size the box that the video is in, re-sizing the box cures the problem.

I'm on a Retina MacBook Pro, sporting OS X 10.8.2, with Safari Version 6.0.2 (8536.26.17). I have also installed the WebKit and it has the same problem. I have WebKit Version 6.0.2 (8536.26.17, 537+)

YouTube is fine, though.

Have I done something by mistake to make this happen?

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

I've just discovered that if I switch tabs, when I switch back, it's fine.

Here's what it looks like zoomed in:

I have exactly the same symptoms. Change tab or zoom the page in and out and it is cured, until the next video. I have only seen on the BBC website. I suspect it might be a Flash Player problem as I recall it happening after I updated to latest flash.

Btw, I just updated my flash player from Adobe website and the problem is solved.
