Vivaldi plays videos in external window

Hi all, I have a problem for several versions back where Vivaldi shows me videos in an external window to give view in full screen. As I show in the following screen:

It is very uncomfortable, because to put the video on full screen not let me see the playback controls, some of the online players where is this happening are: Powvideo Player, JWPlayer and many more, but not their names. If they could report it to developers to see if they fix that problem would appreciate it.

I'm using Linux Mint 18 Cinnamon with Vivaldi Snapshot 1.5.655.3 (official Build) dev (64 bits)

Too bad they are not interested in solving the problem, but as they say in his blog: "We are still very interested in reports of any new bugs That Have Appeared since 1.4 (regressions)" I thought I could solve this error, and still hope they can solve.

Every bug needs to be fixed and some bugs can take more time than others, but they'll get fixed.
Please don't say that there isn't interest from the team, because the team is working hard every day to fix bugs.

Have a great weekend!
