Bug still there in build 10581 on my 640.

I'll add Gym Builder to the list of apps where this happens.

Actually, where is the setting for this in W10M now?

That isn't a bug it's done on purpose. You can only hide/show the navigation bar in games and windows 10 apps

EDIT: Any winRT app allows the navigation bar to be hidden too.

Where have you seen this information?

If that's afeature now, it really sucks and is anoying. Can't watch videos on fullscreen and with that burn in on OLED screen will come much faster.

This is absolutely BULL! I was nice that you could force it anywhere on WP8.1. Another good thing MS managed to screw up. It only works in a few apps now, not even in Edge does it work. I will return my 950xl if this is how it is supposed to be. This is the single dumbest thing so far.

You can watch videos in full screen, it just depends on how you are viewing them. If you are using an 8.1 app like mytube or the film and tv app then you can but if you are using something like metro tube and tubecast then no because they aren't universal.

It actually does work on Edge. Over time most of the apps in the store will be universal so it won't be a problem anymore.
