Flash videos disappears/underlays when using Fullscreen mode.

[newbie]

Flash videos (dailymotion, xnxx, etc.) disappears/underlays when using Fullscreen mode.
In 13.10, the same would occur, but the workaround was to look for the "underlayed fullscreen icon/fullscreen plugin container", in the activities bar.
Now on 14.04, that workaround isn't even available.

It looks like the issue lies somewhere in Gnome. The problem occured on UbuntuGnome14.04, so I decided to delete that and install Ubuntu 14.04. The problem is gone, but... I like Gnome, so I decided to install the Gnome shell on top of Ubuntu 14.04, and sure enough, after transitioning to Gnome shell, the same problem occurs.

Can someone help me out please?

Please advise on any other information required to troubleshoot/analyze the issue.

I can confirm the issue. My System is Ubuntu 14.04 LTS + Gnome Shell (installed manually because I hate Unity). I have just upgraded my system from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Very disapointing to see that 14.04 is still having major issues and that nobody is taking care about it because they igone Gnome.

[test051102 (test051102)]

The issue can be fixed by installing the following Gnome extension: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/851/flash-fullscreen-fix/. It would be nice if the functionality of this extension could be integrated into gnome-shell by default. It is a desaster if flash videos could not be played in a desktop environment.
