The playback controls now appear on top of the film and fade out as well (making the width of the controls the minimum width a film can be played back at). Unfortunately the controls and the &lsquo;scrubber&rsquo; have a fixed width and don&rsquo;t grow width-wise with the window to allow easier jumping inside films. Although the playback controls can be moved to a position of your choice in the movie, QuickTime Player immediately forgets about your preferred position for them and displays them in the standard position for the next film you open.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I wish I could get the controller out of the way instantly.<\/p>\n<p>Update (2009-08-30): <a href=\"http:\/\/albj.net\/2009\/08\/apple-please-stop-removing-pre-existing-functionality\/\">Lee Bennett<\/a> writes:<\/p>\n<blockquote cite=\"http:\/\/albj.net\/2009\/08\/apple-please-stop-removing-pre-existing-functionality\/\"><p>As for the new QuickTime Player, I have numerous observations of behavior and gotchas.
