[Bug] Cannot turn video streams to full screen.

SekeRob

Since about 2-3 version updates the --full screen-- button does not put the streaming video into full screen mode. For instance at https://www.nfl.com/videos/highlights in

Vivaldi 2.2.1369.6 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Revision 45190c16107caa1827df5466dc64ffca74ed35b4-refs/heads/master@{#588962}

It's not possible, but copying the link to Firefox or Chrome does permit full screen.

I can confirm this behaviour for 2.2.1369.6 (32bit) on win 7 (64bit)

So in case nobody else has some ideas how to fix this on the fly you should file a bugreport.

How to report a bug?

Report each bug separately on vivaldi.com/bugreport/. Reports with more than one bug cannot be processed because each bug is allocated a unique bugtracker number.
Describe the issue in as much detail as you can.
Add an exact link to a web page where the issue occurs, so it can be tested.
It helps, if you include some information about the extensions and security tools you’re using – they often point us in the right direction.
If you’re having issues with audio or video give information about your installed codecs and graphics card/GPU.
After reporting the issue, you will receive a confirmation email from the bugtracker with the bug number VB-XXXXX, so make sure you give a valid contact email address.
You can add more information and files (screenshots, crash logs, etc.) to the report by replying to the bugtracker’s email.

My Chrome is Version 70.0.3538.102 (Official Build) (64-bit) and works fine
My Firefox is 63.0.3 (64-bit) and works fine
My Vivaldi has Chrome engine Chrome/71.0.3578.45 Safari/537.36 and does not Full Screen Video streams for NFL, but does work on Youtube.

Suspect a combination of the particular Chrome and the particular video player they use at NFL.
