Controlbar doesn't hide on YouTube

I don't recall seeing anyone posting about this obvious bug before.

If a YouTube video is NOT set to autostart, and you then click Play, the controlbar doesn't hide until you mouseover the HD icon. All browsers. http://misterneutron.com/JW6youtube/

If the video IS set to autostart, it works as expected.

It has to do with the lower section of the display. This area is the area that YouTube reserves for their overlay ads when their API is used. If the mouse is moved into this area, the fading works as expected.

This is why, when I'm embedding a YouTube video, I don't use JW Player at all. Might as well just use the YouTube player and be done with it.
