It sounds like you may be talking about the browser behavior that is discussed in the Teacher's Notes section of the video page, under the heading Important Update.

Take a closer look at that and see if that explains your issue.

I have the same problem and nothing anyone else has suggested has worked.

Read that Important Update section again. This is not an error, or something to "fix".

Continue on, you'll soon learn much better methods for user interaction anyway.
