13.3 + Safari 16.4: 'Youtube' videos stopped to play automatically after i put the slider to any area i want to watch.

Hi there,

Subject: Something went wrong after my 2019 MBP Intel Core i9 updated to Safari 16.4. 'Youtube' videos stopped to play automatically after i put the slider to any area i want to watch. Now I have to click 'Play' manually each time after i put the slider to the area that I need. It's very annoying, especially when you have to do that several times per 1 video. And yes, it's not an Auto-Play option(this one is Ok).

Just wonder if it's bug or something has happened to my Preferences, extensions etc. Help me please.
I have already tried to reset NVRAM/PRAM, SMC. As well as cleared all cache, cookies, history in Safari etc. Nothing helped me with that. BTW, the same issue is not reproduces in Chrome, it turns out to be Ok in there.

Are you using Tap-to-Click on the Trackpad? On my 2016 MBP 15", I can work around the problem by physically clicking the Trackpad, instead of doing a tap-click, on the slider. Took me days to narrow this behavior down after noticing that sometimes videos continued playing as before.
Hope it works for you too.
