[Bug 1544880] [NEW] video fullscreen playback emits keys (control/key sequences) into current foreground window

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Public bug reported:

Playing a video in full-screen mode (html5) emits keys into foreground ("ghost keyboard" inputs). 
These key sequences affect the currently selected/foregrounded Window, e.g. the goneme-terminal flickers the text up and down, changes window focus and inputs control characters scrambling the typed commandline.
Controlled typing on the commandline is nearly impossible this way, text is garbled (see screenshot attachment).
Pausing the video stops this behaviour.
This happens on a fresh profile without any extensions/addons.

example youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHEHPRDVEp4

I logged the keys with
xev 2>&1|while /bin/true ; do read ans; echo $ans;date -Ins ;done > /tmp/xev.timestamped.log

and add the output here as attachment. From the log it seems to be these
type of repeating sequences (disregard beginning and end of file, since
it is mouse over xev movements):

Currently I doo not know how to debug this further, is there a
possibility to debug the video playback in chromium browser?

Thanks for looking into it,
Martin
