Video control overlay invisible after switching back from audio mode

[M00NJ]

Steps to reproduce

1. Start playing a video
2. Switch to audio only mode
3. Switch back to video mode.

Now the control overlay is not showing up anymore. It's still possible to pause and skip when touching the screen in the right spot, but the seekbar and control buttons are no longer visible. The touch indicators in the recording shows multiple taps in different spots of the player, but the controlls don't show up. Minimizing and then maximizing the video "wakes up" the control overlay again.

Expected behavior

When taping the playing video in half-screen mode, the control overlay should pop up.

Actual behavior

Sometimes the controlls stay hidden.

that is the behavior explained in #4130 (apart of main titled bug). When you are in that situation, does swipiping down a litte and back (as if you were going to minimize) help to show the overlay?

My guess is that the interface stucks waiting for the video player being positioned at top, in the transition animation between feed/list > player. So when I move the player it gets fixed at top finally, and allows interaction with it. This happens completelly randomly.

I'm aware of the issue, it's been around for a while. However, I don't have a way to continuously reproduce it, so it's still unclear where the issue comes from.

I will try this, when it happens next time. But so far I haven't experienced the bug in the new release.

I opened a separate Issue because I think these a separate problems. The bug described in #4130 also happens, when the control overlay is already displayed, at least for me that is...

Yes, that's it! I switch between andio only and video mode a lot, because of the "pausing background playback bug". I didn't think that this was causing it, but I just tested it and it happened again. That means it's reproducible now. Great news!

I have updated the Issue title and description accordingly.

I haven't encountered this issue lately, so I did some quick tests and I couldn't reproduce it anymore. Does anybody else still have this? Otherwise we can close this.

[M00NJ]

I will reopen this if the issue reappears
