Scrolling in 'scroll for more details' mode uses about 18-20% CPU, and it simply never comes back down from there, even if the user scrolls back up to the video. The video occasionally stutters. It should be noted that this is even higher than CPU decoding the video (about 13% CPU). The only way to resolve this issue is to close the tab/ web app.
