@Mike, can you please confirm if the regress-or is accurate?
Thanks!

Yep, sounds plausible, thanks!

Still an issue on macOS 10.15 with 82.0b5, 83.0a1(2020-10-05).
Severity could be updated to S4, due to the unlikely-hood of a normal user encountering the issue.

Hey, I would like to work on this issue.

Maybe we could fix the min size to which the pip window can be resized so that controls don't overlap.

If we decide to work on this ticket, let's treat it as a part of [PiP responsiveness and graceful degradation stories(https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LteDB8JKM15RqO38LnLFwQ-egYNDnrhB5YgnypzuCzc/edit#)].

tl;dr - I think the right solution would be to remove the controls after the dimensions of the PiP window drops past threshold values.

If there's an appetite to work on this as a part of the Outreachy program, I can brush up the spec and remake this ticket into an enhancement.

Hey, Thanks!
I would like to work on this as an outreachy applicant, and the link of the doc isn't accessible to me. Please allow me.

Hi Janvi,

My apologies for the late reaction to this. We are working on some updates for PiP controls, and that includes changing their behavior on window resizing.

I shared the document with you, but these requirements are still in flux and would take a while to congeal. I'm going to mark this ticket as ux-blocked.

The severity field for this bug is set to S4. However, the following bug duplicate has higher severity:

• Bug 1824424: S3

:mhowell, could you consider increasing the severity of this bug to S3?

For more information, please visit auto_nag documentation.

I think S4 remains appropriate here.
