Objects showing up on a slide from another slide

Question

I'm working on a project where the user clicks on a button and it takes them to another slide to watch a video. They can then return to the original slide, click another button, and view another video. There are three videos. When the user returns to the original slide the first time, it works fine. When the user clicks a second time and then returns to the original slide, the Slide video shows up in the background of the original slide. Why would an object from a completely different slide show up in the background of another slide? And why does it happen after the user clicks a second time? I'm attaching screenshots. #1 is the original slide and the arrows are where the user clicks to jump to the slides with the videos. #2 is the slide visited with the video. #3 is the original slide that shows the video in the background.

Got to be a bug of some kind. In published content, everything is redrawn in the same window. There is not an html page for each slide, there is one page that displays different HTML elements for each slide. So for some reason, the video is not being removed from the page.

If you can't get rid of the issue, you should be able to remove that object with JS when entering the slide.

You would need to use the console in the browser to get a reference to that object by clicking on the arrow icon in the left side of the console and then clicking on the object on the slide. Once ou have it's name execute the javascript:

document.getElementById("element name").style.display="none";
