There are actually 3 related problems: 1) Google ad videos cannot be paused or stopped. I click the button, it keeps playing. 2) Even after you click the X mark in top corner and report the ad, the audio keeps playing on white background 3) The page keeps scrolling back up to the ad over and over as I keep trying to scroll down.

Where are you seeing this?

I can't reproduce the issue any more but I had it happen to me many times over several days. It might depend on the ad rendered, which I have no control over. I'll keep an eye out.

This will be hard to figure if no one can reproduce the problem or know where your seeing this.
