Problem with clicking in full screen mode on Youtube or Netflix in Safari

Hello,

I've got a question, how to fix a problem with clicking in a full screen mode. When I watch some video on YT or Netflix and I turn it to a full screen mode I can't click anything in it so for ex. to go back to not full screen mode I have to use escape button. The same situation is when I want to pause the video I click on the pause icon and it doesn't work so again I have to do it "manually" let's say and click space button on my keyboard. It's really strange and I don't know how to fix it. Please help :)

if your cursor is unable to click (it has no effect) when watching a video full screen do this steps

pull down the “Safari” menu and choose “Preferences”
Select the “Search” tab.
Uncheck the box next to “Show Favorites” under the 'Smart Search Field' section.
Close Preferences as usual.

APPLE NEED TO FIX THIS BUG we should be able to show favorites without that kind of issue.
