I'm really surprised to see that switching to UXA really helped you because
that exact test was the very first I did when the bug first appeared and it
didn't work at all.  Actually, I didn't even have to visit the Web Store in
order to produce it.  I just attempted to watch a random video on Youtube and
the screen went black at once.  I didn't even need a second test.  :)
