- ..open the Browser-console, with the F12-Key, before/when the error occures? (then hopefully you'll see an error message in the console).
- ...copy the YouTube-DOM shown above the console (F12) in case YouTube is giving you a new verson. You can copying the root element <html> in the top after the bug happened:
