Title:
  [MASTER] Volume/brightness/eject key briefly changes window focus
  (e.g. makes Flash exit full screen)

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “flashplugin-nonfree” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  When a brightness, volume, or eject key is pressed on a keyboard,
  focus changes in the current window. At its mildest, this has odd
  visual effects. At its worst, it causes the Adobe Flash player to exit
  full-screen mode.

  Steps to reproduce, A:
  1. Start playing a movie full-screen with the Adobe Flash plug-in.
  2. Press a brightness, volume, or eject key on the keyboard.
  What happens: The Flash plug-in exits full screen.
  What should happen: It shouldn't.

  Steps to reproduce, B:
  0. Switch to a theme where the focused and unfocused selection colors are obviously different, e.g. New Wave.
  1. In any standard GTK text field (e.g. GEdit or Geany), select some text.
  2. Press a brightness, volume, or eject key on the keyboard.
  What happens: The selected text momentarily goes grey.
  What should happen: The selected text stays the same color.

  Steps to reproduce, C:
  1. Start writing an OpenOffice.org Writer document.
  2. Press a brightness, volume, or eject key on the keyboard.
  What happens: The insertion point disappears for as long as the key is being pressed.
  What should happen: The insertion point keeps blinking as normal.

  Steps to reproduce, D:
  1. In Firefox, tab to a link in a page, so that its URL appears in the status bar.
  2. Press a brightness, volume, or eject key on the keyboard.
  What happens: The URL momentarily disappears from the status bar.
  What should happen: The URL stays where it is.
