Bug Description
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Twist convertible ultrabook. The tablet mode (touchscreen-only operation, keyboard folded away) get continuously working better.
Now I have hit a bug in the movie player. I double-click (double-tap) a video in Nautilus and the movie player pops up with the video. As long as I leave the movie player being a window I can easily control the video with the touch screen. If I click the full-screen button, the video plays full-screen as expected, but I cannot leave full-screen mode with any touch operation and I also cannot make an operation panel to control the video show up via the touch screen.
I am on Saucy with the standard Unity deesktop.

It is not impossible to operate the full-screen video by touch screen but it is not intuitive. I always tried to tap the screen to get an operation panel and this did not work. I have to swipe over the screen (equivalent to moving the mouse) to get the panel. Then all works. The panel stays long enough to go to it with the finger to control the video. What should be done to make operation intuitive is to already pop up the panel with a tap (equivalent to left click) onto an arbitrary point of the screen.
