Description
I've opened a short screen recording in Videos. Playback started automatically, and I tried to seek/scrub to the second I was interested in.
However, playback continued, and when the video was finished, Videos automatically closed the file, and asked me if I wanted to watch it again.
Expected behavior: When I hold down the mouse on the SeekBar, playback should not keep running, and Videos should not close the file I'm trying to analyze.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Videos by opening a short screen recording, allowing playback to start, and holding the mouse on the SeekBar while scrubbing. Trace the playback and file-closing behavior around that interaction; done means playback pauses during the hold and the file remains open after reaching the end.
