🐞Description cannot be opened automatically

[LaoYuan77]

Concise Description

In the latest version, even if you choose to open the description automatically, it cannot be expanded automatically, and there will be three extra buttons circled in the lower left corner. If I choose to open the description button as "normal" and refresh the webpage, the extra buttons will not appear.

[LaoYuan77]

youtube gave my the experimental logo?? I don't know where this thing is, so I can't share it

[xeophyte]

Same here, this bug exists for a long time, I mentioned it few times #2041 (comment)

[ImprovedTube]

hi! :) @xeophyte, did you get the bug in April-November? now there is a new reason. (I appreciate Links either way!)

I've had it since at least February and nothing changed. Description is expanding, but after refresh it's not (4.1186).

[xeophyte]

Looks like fixed to me in 4.1187.
