[Bug 1328884] [NEW] Can't Sustain Full Screen Flash Video while using Multiple Monitors

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

I've been using Ubuntu desktop since April of 2007 (starting with
version 7.04).

This is the oldest unfixed bug I know of.

When you have two monitors, if you maximize a youtube flash video on one
monitor, any action you perform on the other monitor minimizes the
video.

It has always been impossible to watch a flash video full-screen on one
monitor while preforming tasks on a second monitor.

I reported this back in 2007, but couldn't find that bug report.

Anyway, it is 7 years later, and the bug still persists.
