      I am running into an issue that whenever I go fullscreen, either by pressing the F11 key or by going fullscreen in an youtube video, the browser screen completely freezes and I cannot interact with anything. Interestingly, videos and audio still play when the window freezes, but I cannot pause it or interact with the browser at all.

      Another interesting thing that happens is that when it freezes, the title bar also completely changes visually to what looks like a windows 7-esque title bar.

      I found one fix so far: turning off hardware acceleration. However, I would like to keep hardware acceleration on if possible since I have animated wallpapers installed and my browser can be very slow in some sites without it.

      Has anyone else ran into this issue? If so any help would be appreciated.
