UI glitch for <video> tag blocker?

[Scarface]

Hi!

I've stumbled upon this page. It's a demonstration of the HTML 5 <video> tag. Noscript does block the tag as expected, but it does not show the usual pop up when I click it. When the mouse hovers the area NS does not show textual informations on what's being blocked either (MIME type, URL etc).

I can still get the pop up by going in the "blocked objects" menu though, so it's just an UI glitch.

Something quirky going on.
You would expect clicking the placeholder to Allow the object, but nothing happens.

(My computer falters badly on that video.)

They've put an absolutely positioned invisible div (of CSS class video_overlay) right over the movie (and the placeholder), preventing any click from reaching it.
I'm trying to work around, but I'm not sure if it's worth the effort.
Not <VIDEO> element specific, anyway, even though this is probably an artifact of the way some web authors are going to implement contextual menus over <VIDEO> elements in HTML5.

Good to know.

It may be worth the effort if that technic becomes wide spread, in order to avoid confusion in the standard users' mind (Why won't NoScript let me allow this and this and also this video??)... But at the moment I didn't encounter this issue anywhere else.

Thanks for the clarification

Greatly mitigated in latest development build 1.9.5.7
