Description Andres Betts 2025-09-12 15:43:48 UTC
Whenever Dragon Player is on the background and is not in focus, obscured by other windows at the top, the player currently stops playback when the user clicks the playback window.

This behavior, while fast, it gets in the way of clicking windows to gain focus. In other words, it's more recommendable that playback continues when the mouse click brings the video player back into focus. This should ensure that video playback is continuous and uninterrupted by general window navigation.

Forgot to mention, the same behavior happens when users click the playback window after clicking the playback menu bar for a contextual menu. Playback should continue uninterrupted and the first click should just dismiss the contextual menu.
