Ads stealing focus from typing and scrolling the page!

All of the sudden there is a video ad on the bottom right of the test page, that steals focus from the typing area, and force scrolls the page to the video.

Not cool.

I assume this is an oversight.
Doesn't appear for me, Chrome, Windows 8.1.

Have you tried an ad blocker?

That's odd. I have not changed the ad provider recently. And I don't believe Google Adsense would let this type of ads on its network. I am unable to get this ad that steals the focus (the test page works normally). Can you provide a screenshot?

Didn't force scroll me, but started playing with sound (the top one didn't have sound, but the bottom 2 did). Seems to be a dailymotion thing.

It is an intermittent thing, and only happens occasionally.

It is the square add that appears at the bottom of the page on the right, not the banner adds on the top and bottom.

It does look like it's coming from Dailymotion. I've blocked ads that lead to dailmotion. Let's see if it makes things better.
