The coding/layout of webpages like Youtube is messed up

Please answer the following questions so that we can process your bug report, otherwise, we may have to ignore it.
Also, please put your name, or a screen name, and your email above so that we can contact you if needed.
If you don't want your report to be made public, check that box, too.

Can you provide detailed steps on how to reproduce the problem?

  1. Go to Youtube and sign in.
  2. Go to a video or a playlist video.
  3. Let it load with AdBlock on

What should happen when you do the above steps
The page loads, and you are able to watch the video without any other layout disturbances.

What actually happened?
When the video loads, the audio keeps playing, but the layout is all messed up and all the usual icons are missing, with some exceptions that are listed vertically on the left side of the page, and you can't see the video either.

Do you have any other comments? If you can, can you please attach a screenshot of the bug?
When I press Ctrl + F5, it reloads and fixes itself, but i have to do that for every new page i go to.

--- The questions below are optional but VERY helpful. ---

If unchecking all filter lists fixes the problem, which one filterlist must you check to cause the problem again after another restart?
I'm pretty sure it's the malware blocking filter. Technical Chrome users: Go to chrome://extensions ->Developer Mode -> Inspect views: background page -> Console. Paste the contents here: When i go click the console part for the background page for Adblock, nothing pops up.

    What you're describing was a temporary error on YouTube.com. It seems to have been fixed since you reported this.
