Video player play/pause behavior broken

[meesfrensel]

Describe the bug

When playing a video, pressing space bar to pause, does pause the video. But when the space bar is released again, the video starts playing again. Holding space bar pauses the video only while it's pressed down.

Video showing the problem - although of course you can't see my keyboard ;)

Hello, I'll try to take care of it.

Do you have another example ? Because the bug does not happen in the repo examples so it might only be when the viewer is inside an iframe.

edit: oh ok it only happens if the playback was started with a mouse click. When only using the keyboard there is no problem.
