I actually can't make out or found elsewhere what is the actuall problem but i'll try to explain the best.
While playing a MBR Video by viewing the other tab or pop up page in full the video really stop playing and is still.
Going back to the original tab the video takes few seconds to restart or resume playing, sometimes it will not restart at all. Faced this in Safari and FireFox on Mac.
I am not much into technical but still I would definitely make sure all the required details that is asked for to track back this problem.
Based on what you describe, this is a performance issue. Can you reproduce this issue on all Mac computers 100% of the time?
Video and audio data (samples/frames) are scheduled to be presented at precise times. By resizing a window/tab/pop-up, there is a delay when the window will be ready again. The scheduled media samples cannot be delayed and if they are, a decision has to be
made. Typically a frame will get dropped, but when it comes to video, there is a dependency between frames and if you drop too many it will cause the playback to end.
If you are a developer there are ways on handling this type media event. You should see a MediaFailed event occur around the time this occurs. Additionally, you can check the state of the MediaElement to know if it is playing and restart.
As an end user, the recommendation would be to pause the video before you resize.
