[Bug 1510973] [NEW] WebView.fullscreen behaves differently for fullscreen Flash

 

Public bug reported:

When ordinary web content requests fullscreen, it's not granted until
the application sets WebView.fullscreen to true. It doesn't have to do
this synchronously inside the WebView.fullscreenRequested handler.

When Flash content requests fullscreen, the content will overlay the
entire webview (which will effectively be in full screen mode)
regardless of what the application does, and there's not much we can do
about this.

What we should probably do is automatically cancel the fullscreen Flash
if the application doesn't set WebView.fullscreen to true in the
fullscreenRequested handler.
