[Bug 1452541] [NEW] Fullscreen window for streaming video (YouTube, HBO Go, etc.) freezing

 

Public bug reported:

This only started happening in 15.04, and it only seems to happen when I
use the video player's native fullscreen option (I sometimes use Flash
Game Maximizer if I'm hooked up to a dual monitor setup, and this
problem doesn't happen then).

Basically, I'm unable to make videos fullscreen because once I do, the
video slows, then stutters, then completely freezes (but the audio
continues unimpaired). I have to hit ESC many times to exit out because
everything else-- mouse, keyboard, etc. -- is unresponsive for about
half a minute.
