Hiding HTML5 video controls in fullscreen

Is there a way for the video controls to disappear after a certain period of time when in fullscreen mode? I can disable the controls by right clicking when the video is not fullscreen but that option is grayed out when fullscreen. I am using Opera 38.0.2220.41 on Windows 10. Thanks for the help

Can you post an example of a website where you are having this issue?

Try moving the cursor away from screen.

It happens with all HTML5 video like this one

Chrome would hide the controls after about 5 seconds but it's constantly showing in Opera.
I moved the cursor to the far left and right corners with no luck.
I'm wondering if this is supposed to happen in Opera intentionally or if I am running into a bug.

Confirmed. The player controls do not hide even with the courser on the edge of the screen. Works fine in Chrome. Looks like we have a bug.

Works here although, given the video being short, the control bar disappears almost in the end.

Even for a longer video like this one

the controls do not disappear at all for me. Can you confirm if the controls disappear for you in this one as well?

Still does not work for me somehow, what version of Opera + Windows are you using?

Opera developer 40 running on Windows 10.

I remember have checked also in Opera Stable.

Until some minutes ago, I had Opera 38.0.2220.41 and the issue was present. With Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Vivaldi, SRWareIron and Maxthon, the controls disappear in 1-3 seconds.

I just updated to 39.0.2256.43 and the controls disappear, so the issue seems to be solved. Also now the controls look different, so it seems they did change something there. All this on Windows 7 x64, by the way.
