Bug Description

The screen turns off even when a flash-player 'window' is fullscreen and there aren't any other activity (e.g. when watching videos).

This behavior isn't correct. In Windows, when you have fullscreen flash-player, display doen't turn off and computer doen't go to sleep mode.

How to reproduce:
Open system settings, then "Brightness and Lock" and set any small value for "Turn screen...". Then open any video (e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJ_fkw5j-t0), press "Fullscreen" and wait for time you set in settings.

Sorry, i don't know in what package this bug is. Please move it to correct one.

Sorry for bad English.

affects: unity (Ubuntu) → flashplugin-nonfree (Ubuntu)

I wonder if anybody is working on this. I guess it could be fixed by writing a small browser plugin.

An easy workaround seems to be to use Caffeine: https://launchpad.net/caffeine
