Title:
  Some ads permanetly block webpages, even unrelated pages.

Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  This is a strange intermittent problem. It seems that full page, or
  perhaps page covering ads on web pages will not only block the web
  page underneath in opaque black, but block everything in the browser.
  This includes other web pages and hitting the back button to escape
  the screen. When this happens, there will also be slim white
  rectangles on the right-side edge of the screen when scrolling.
  Screenshots are attached.

  I'm using a Meizu Pro 5 (turbo) OTA 11 from the stable "meizu.en"
  channel. I can attest that this same behavior appeared in OTA 10.2 as
  well.

  EXPECTATIONS:
  1 - When an ad or other element blocks the web page, I expect to be able to close or hide it.
  2 - If I go back a page, I expect the element to be stop blocking the webpages.

  REALITY:
  A - They are unclosable.
  B - Even hitting back or navigating to a different web page doesn't make the black overlay disappear.

  webbrowser app is 0.23+15.04.20160509.3-0ubuntu1
