Video controls never fade away on Chrome Version 36.0.1985.125\Mac

I noticed that the controls for the video player never fade away on Chrome Version 36.0.1985.125 for Mac.

This can be pretty frustrating when it covers up the code or anything else in the video. I switched to Safari and it is now working correctly.

Is there anything I can do to make this work correctly in Chrome?

I find that they sometimes do stick up, but if I click on them(or usually anywhere in the browser) and then hover over the video and move off it again they will disappear. I'm really not a fan of them being shown in over the video as it does seem to get in the way when I'm looking at code...

I use Opera 23.0.1522.72 and I have the same problem. I cannot make it fade away. I tried many things but no results.

Not as convenient, but you can always download the videos. Or use the itunes feed to download all of them for that module.

I solved it in Chrome using an extension called Stylebot, to activate the User Applied to pages then I made a rule like this,

.mejs-container .mejs-controls {
    background: rgba(56,64,71,0.98);
    bottom: 0px;
    right: 30px;
    width: auto;
    height: 40px;
    -moz-border-radius: 5px;
    -ms-border-radius: 5px;
    -o-border-radius: 5px;
    border-radius: 5px;
    -webkit-box-shadow: rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 0 0 0 1px inset,rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 0 0 5px 5px;
    -moz-box-shadow: rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 0 0 0 1px inset,rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 0 0 5px 5px;
    box-shadow: rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 0 0 0 1px inset,rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 0 0 5px 5px;
    opacity: 0.4;
}
