Hi
I've got a M1 Pro 2021 and every time I try to play a video in Safari in full screen, it pops up in a separate workspace/desktop and blurs the source tab making all other tabs inactive. (screenshots below)
I've spoken to other users (M2), and none of them have this issue. I'm also running the latest Safari and macOS versions.
Any suggestions would be really appreciated. Thanks
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.2
Hi eviljuice,
Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities!
We understand that you're not able to use Safari on your Mac as expected.
Check out this resource which explains how to troubleshoot Safari on your Mac: If Safari doesn't open a page or work as expected on your Mac - Apple Support
"Check Safari extensions
If you installed any Safari extensions, turn extensions off. From the menu bar in Safari, choose Safari > Settings (or Preferences). Click Extensions, then deselect each extension to turn it off. Learn more about Safari extensions.
If you find that an extension is causing the issue, make sure that the extension is up to date.
Test with a private window
A website can store cookies, caches, and other data on your Mac, and issues with that data can affect your use of the website. To prevent the website from using that data, view it in a private window: From the menu bar in Safari, choose File > New Private Window, or press Shift-Command-N.
If that works, use the following steps to remove the website's data, including its caches and cookies. The website can then create new data as needed. If it's a website that you sign in to, make sure that you know your sign-in information before continuing.
If you're still experiencing the same behavior, we'd ask that you contact Apple to report this behavior to them directly. You can find their contact details here: Contact Apple Support
Take care!
