if I play a video on a mobile from my website in portrait I cannot close it unless I turn it to landscape although the close X is visible.

same as in safari if I drag the page closer to the left. as you drag it the further the mouse pointer oner the X button is out of alignment for closing till eventually it will not go over the x to close it I mean it goes over it but will not change to the hand icon to work

first pic mouse is over x…..and shows the hand….second pic mouse is slight off to the right of the x to show the hand….third pic mouse will not change to the hand…ie will not close the video

That’s a bug! I’ll get this ticketed now, hopefully fixed in the next build 🙂

it’ll definitely be fixed.

We have just had to prioritise work on the new CMS recently. I think we should have quite a few component updates and fixes in the near future.

Apologies for the delay!

The honest answer is: we’re a small team that has to prioritise what we work on, and it’s a constant balancing act. There’s always more we’d like to do than we have hands for.

We do hear you, and feedback like this helps us weigh things up things going forward.
