Can't play videos in gallery full screen anymore! Please Help!!!!

[jnow007]

this is annoying! My videos used to play full screen and now it won't! its different now! not sure if its an update or what.... but it always loads with the thumb of the previous video in the background.. i hate it and i hate "picture in picture"... i cant even maximize it to full screen like before!!! Maximizing wont work and i shouldnt have to maximize every video anyways.. I used to be able play any video and it used to play full screen... not anymore! how do i fix??

This is what i get AFTER i maximize it


This is without maximizing.... why does it show the thumb? it was never like this before!

It looks like the video is playing in "multiwindow" mode. That round circle at the top of the screen looks like the multiwindow control. What happens if you press the white circle? Any menu pop up?
