Bug Description

both krillin and vivid have this issue:

1) open browser
2) open video in youtube.com and start playing it
3) swipe up from bottom and select an existing tab or create a new tab

Expected result:
- the video in the background should pause and the new tab should be displayed

Actual result:
- the video keeps playing in the background even after the new tab is loaded

One mans bug is another man's feature :) I've been enjoying being able to listen to lectures while I browse the web. But I guess YouTube is by definition a 'video' website and is not useful to most users when not visible.

I back the other one, if I wanted my yputube videos to pause while doing stuff Id use the youtube app without keeping it running in background using ubuntu tweak tool.

Know thats another option though, if you want to listen to videos of any forum you can keep apps awfrom sleeping using ubuntu tweak tool.
