After i updated hyprland to 0.53.1 fullscreen in mediaplayers not working anymore. This applies to all media players: youtube, animelib, mpv, telegram media, kinescope. There also a bug in firefox, after i’m trying to switch video to fullscreen, i can’t open new tab and update existing tabs, until i restart firefox. In chromium fullscreen not working, as expected. It open video on full windows size, but not in fullscreen. In mpv fullscreen also absolutely not working. I tryed to open firefox and chromium via terminal, but didn’t receive any critical conclusions about the errors. I think it’s because update windowrules. But i can’t find any info about this problem in internet. It seems like I’m the only one who encountered this

issue was resolved by creating new auto generated config and copying windowrules from it.
