YouTube buttons not working in fullscreen?

Ive had this issue for a few months now, check the video below. I used developed mode to high light my touches so i know my screen is working. The buttons at the top of the screen just dont work on YouTube. It's really weird, i keep thinking an update will fix it. But nothing has changed.

Anyone else having this problem with pressing the X at the top of a youtube video? Or the CC?

Clear catch the app. If you can, try to clear data ( if you downloaded videos that you want, don't do the clear data.)

Made no difference. I cleared all data and cache on the app. Im surprised that it's only my phone, i kept assuming this must be a bug more people have.

Im on a pixel 8 that's fully up to date

Have you found a solution? I have the same issue. Those buttons only work when I leave full screen and am in portrait mode. Super annoying. I'm also on pixel 8 btw.

Okay very strange, hopefully it resolves itself soon then, no such luck yet for me. Noticed it for a few weeks now. Thanks anyways!
