Question Running Dual Monitors

I'm running two monitors for the first time. One is used for a browser and the other is for streaming video.

If I maximize the video image in screen #2, and I touch the browser in #1, the video image reduces to its normal (smaller) size in #2. For instance, if I'm watching soccer in the entire screen on #2, and then try to visit this forum on #1, the full screen video on #2 reverts back to it's smaller size.

Is this happening because I've maximized the video in one screen, and touching the web browser tells the system to give the web browser the full screen since I'm using it? (even though the web browser stays full screen only on monitor #1 ie. doesn't move into #2.)

If so, how can I stop this from happening? Additional software?
 
So far as I know there isn't a way around it, however, earlier this year whilst streaming Le Mans 24 hours (I wasn't allowed the TV for the whole 24 hours so was stuck with my computer for a good few hours of it during the day :P) and encountered the same problem, so rather than clicking full screen, I zoomed in to enlarge it and it had the same effect as full screening, whilst allowing me to use content on the other screen simultaneously
 
yeah youtube videos always do that. i think most streaming players do (the one on engadget does that as well). no real way around it other than zooming in like aastii said.
