Description erusan 2014-04-30 03:55:52 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:
1) Open a video in Totem
2) Use the back arrow to display the "Recent" overview
3) Choose any video to play from this view

Actual Result: The previous video is displayed momentarily before the new video begins

Expected result: The previous video is not displayed

This is problematic for two reasons that are apparent to me:
1) Privacy and general awkwardness. The previous video is displayed for long enough that anyone else watching can discern the image, and any questionable or offensive material, or even just humiliating personal material, will become inadvertently publicly displayed.
2) Clumsy user experience. Viewing a frame from the previous video is not a smooth experience.
