Public bug reported:
So I'm watching YouTube videos, and I have autoplay enabled, so when it
gets to the end of one, it lingers for a moment then jumps right into
another. While watching a video, the screensaver is inhibited, as it
should be. Because most of these videos are considerably longer than my
lock period.
But during that jump, there's an instant where there isn't technically a
video playing, and since I haven't touched the keyboard in a while, BAM,
the screensaver springs into action.
And I'm sitting here during the intro of the next video, listening to
the theme and narrator, and going "Well that's interesting, is he
leading with a black screen for some narrative reason?" until I bump the
mouse and there's my lockscreen...
In this situation, the end of the video-is-playing status should have a
moment of holdoff before killing the screen, in case another video
starts playing a few milliseconds later.
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, gnome-screensaver 3.6.1-8ubuntu3, Firefox 75.0.
