Video glitch after WP 4.9.5 upgrade

  • Since the 4.9.5 update, display of a video on our site is broken. The text “Video Player” now appears above the video. The dev tools reveal this is …
    <span class="mejs-offscreen">Video Player</span>

    … apparently auto-generated by the media player. We did not use plugin etc to handle the video.
    Also, below the video there is numeric text …
    00:07 that the dev tools identify as mejs-currenttime

    Clearing the cache did not help. Happens on several browsers.

    I added CSS “display:none;” for mejs-offscreen

    However I also notice the controls for the video have been missing since the update.

    CLARIFICATION …
    This is happening in Firefox Developer with the Multi-Account Containers extension enabled. Also in Opera with the SEOquake extension enable. In each instance, disabling the extension seems to solve the problem. Not a problem in the latest Chrome.

    Gives the impression that the WordPress video player is vulnerable to browser extension interference.
