Arch Linux

I use chromium, openbox, flashplayer, and gdm3 (just in case it matters).

The problem is I play a video in chromium, like in youtube, I enter full screen, everything is fine, and then I exit full screen. Result: there's no browser window visible. I can switch to all other open windows, like terminal, settings, or whatever else, but there is no browser visible. The video is still being played as I hear the sound, but no video. The only solution is to kill chromium's process and start it over.

This problem does not happen with firefox.

Here is some info:
