Offline Chrome broken video

[KianBadie]

Videos in the offline version break on chrome if one navigates backwards using the site navigation.

@coiko Did I replicate the bug correctly? I know there is a bit of finesse to getting these bugs to happen sometimes. I played the 1st video a bit, navigated to the next page, and then navigated to the previous page. Is this series of events similar to what you did when you experienced the bug? Or were there any differences? I tried toggling the cache settings and the network connection (connected and no internet) to see if any differences would be made, but things seemed the same with the series of actions I took.

@KianBadie Thanks for looking into this! That was exactly what I was doing. It's funny because now when I try to recreate it, it's much more sporadic, only happening occasionally (before it was every time). Oddly enough, now I can trigger it more consistently by refreshing the page. Here's a (probably confusing) screen recording of me trying (and often failing) to trigger it:

Anyway, it seems like it's not really an issue, and especially since it's not a reliable bug, I wouldn't worry about it. We can file it under a curiosity.

@coiko Sorry for the late reply! I was checked out for the weekend and I'm just leaving a quick reply to prevent waiting for the weekend to end!

That is very strange. I watched the video you sent (thank you for sending that by the way, it is a lot clearer what is happening) and I am not sure what would cause that. You said no errors were popping up? I am ok with filing it under a curiosity, but it is strange enough that it definitely has my attention. That is good to hear that it is happening less than before though! On Monday I'll take some more time to look into this as well and try some different circumstances to see if it produces the bug if that is ok with you!

@KianBadie No worries! I hoped you wouldn't look at it until Monday; I just didn't want to wait any longer to give you a reply. (Same with this one!) And no, no errors that I could see. Here's a short recording with the Developer Tools open:

Anyway, I'd say it's definitely not an issue that needs fixing, so only look into it more if you enjoy the puzzle. Thanks!

@coiko Ah I see, I guess we had the same mindset! Thank you again for another detailed recording. Marking it as not an issue for now sounds good with me. I will look more into it if I need something else to look at other than the usual feature development/site refactoring.
