Description
I have found three tests that test the position of a cue when the video controls are showing: media_height400_with_controls.html, media_with_controls.html, and enable_controls_reposition.html.
Because each browser has uniquely sized controls, the ref file cannot be accurate to all implementations. We should write these tests in a way that takes this into account. Perhaps we should consider a standard way to expose media controls during testing?

Research direction
Start by comparing media_height400_with_controls.html, media_with_controls.html, and enable_controls_reposition.html, focusing on the expected cue positions when controls are visible. Investigate how the tests currently depend on browser-specific control sizes. Done means the tests account for differing media controls and no longer require inaccurate ref files across implementations.
