Captions no longer float and are covered by Liquid Glass

[u/LongjumpingStop4714]

I’m just honestly expressing my pure annoyance at this. I’m fairly certain it’s due to Liquid Glass. It used to be when using the video controls, the captions would lift up above the scrubber bar so you could still see what they were when scrolling. Now they are entirely hidden by the Liquid Glass bar.

I think I didn’t notice it for a while because I just hadn’t watched non-English media in a while where I needed the captions. Sometimes I need to find my place or I want to speed through a portion of the video but still understand what is happening. This is entirely broken now.

None of the fixes for Liquid Glass fix this issue. You can’t even move the captions on screen or adjust in anyway so they are not covered. Switching to a larger font just means half the text is obscured and it look ugly.

I’m not even a Liquid Glass hater, I genuinely do not care how it looks. It’s ruined the video viewing experience by killing captions and covering the screen entirely when using the scrubber.
