When I have a youtube video playing in one tab, and I'm looking at another tab and bringing up a notepad text file or Spider Solitaire, the youtube video will imprint itself over the upper left corner of my screen and won't go away unless I refresh the desktop (solves it for a few seconds) or move the youtube tab away from the actively playing video.

It doesn't happen with every video. Here's two where it affects me.

Does anyone know what's causing this?
