Description
I often find myself swiping down on a video to go from landscape to portrait, however, occasionally when I do so, it will instead minimise the video and go to the video overview. I find this quite annoying as I never want to navigate videos in landscape due modern phones being too wide in landscape to navigate a list of videos. And additionally, when this happens, it also gets locked to landscape, leaving me unable to back to portrait unless I open the video again and then un-fullscreen to portrait.

My issue is essentially similar to what we're seeing in this videoclip reported in a different issue but for different reasons
#445 (comment)

What I saw there was that this is intended behaviour. However, I find this behaviour to only ever get in the way, hence why I experience this as a bug (but labelled it as both because it's intended apparently). Sometimes it activates without the UI open, but even if it didn't, I still never want this to happen.

I'd appreciate a similar toggle to prevent minimising the player with a swipe down gesture on the UI elements so that a swipe down always cleanly un-fullscreens the video into portrait mode.
