Describe the bug

This bug occurs when the mouse has either stopped moving or taken of the video itself. It seems to start when the bar at the bottom of the video disappears. This causes as shown in the video linked the graphics to have a seizure and start rapidly blinking with black 'bars' or as seen in the video full video player flickers. This occurs throughout all video's I try. I can almost confirm this is not a graphics issue on my end seeing as all the other video players on my computer, including normal YouTube work fine.The video shown is one of the worst case scenarios as like I said it ranges from what you see to little black bars starting at the top of the media player.

Edit: With more testing it seems the flicker varies from not flickering to the full player flicker to anything in-between on every different video.

Looks like it's electron issue. Running FreeTube with --disable-gpu param makes the flickering go away.
