Sure it isn't.

You are right. The problem is who decides what is unintended behaviour

I actually can, movies do not need to have images (as specified on the spec
they can be only sound) so it could be just a music i want to play during the
whole of my presentation. Of course that would mean the bug is in the
presentation mode, but you wanted an example of why the current implementation
in the regular mode would be useful and you got it

Let's be honest here, you could just add close buttons and properly stop each
video when you don't want it. And moreover the "regular view" is not intended
for presentations, since for that we have the presentation mode

That's like saying i have to prove i am innocent, sorry but it does not work
this way, it is you that have to prove i am guilty, this is the same, if you
think something i a bug, it is you that have to prove it is a bug.
