Doesn't work. I click it and get a blank white screen. (Vivaldi Chromium Browser)

How do I switch fullscreen mode on and off? ESC turns it off. The fullscreen button on videos doesn't turn it back on. Is restarting the app the only way to turn it back on?

Looks like this has been updated. Playback looks just as good as the web client, has all the same features as well. My only complaint is that in full screen mode there is a bar at the top with the window controls and the bottom windows taskbar is visible. Solid app.
