[Bug 1464249] [NEW] Ubuntu WebView should not silently honour fullscreen requests

 

Public bug reported:

The current implementation¹ does this:

    onFullscreenRequested: _webview.fullscreen = fullscreen


¹ http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~phablet-team/webbrowser-app/trunk/view/head:/src/Ubuntu/Web/UbuntuWebView02.qml#L270


This default behaviour is not necessarily desirable for most embedders, who might want to intercept the request and cancel it.
Changing the default behaviour doesn’t require an API change, so it should be safe to do at any point in time (and the sooner the better).

** Affects: webbrowser-app (Ubuntu)
     Importance: High
