Bug Description
First of all I am on ubuntu gnome trusty x86_amd64 for pc and i enjoy using pipelight-flash plugin , but also playing games like need for speed world (with playonlinux) and world of tanks. And today I used teamviewer x86.
All of these have the same problem: going to fullscreen is very hard, at least the first time for pipelight-flash.
The description of the glitch resembles that of flashplugin-
Saddly, this is not that easy with gnome 3.10 and I had similar issues when I tried ferdora 20 (gnome shell 3.10 also). Switching to full screen when working for these apps has to envolve alt+tab, super+tab, and sometimes even so, the full screen image can be seen like in a flash and when stop pressing the key combinations you can still see the usual workspace with the wine app minimized on windows list or in favorites bar.
From some experience that I had so far, my impression is that somehow gnome shell just doesn't wait enough for the "tresspassing" from normal to fullscreen (sometimes, when I clicked more calmly on the mouse on a youtube video, also releasing clicks more calmly, going to full screen works better - sometimes not all the screen is used, some space to the left side and to the top side is not covered. Also disabling hardware acceleration on pipelight-flash and reducing local storrage to 0 makes going full screen more successfully).
Hardware acceleration or that "time" may be the problem, as wine games are only ran with optirun or primusrun and they never switch succesfully to full screen. There is also this site http://
There are also problems with netbeans 8: I marked F11 as a shortcut for full-screen mode in Gnome Control Center, and when netbeans goes in this mode and I switch to another app, going back to netbeans won't work; I have to close and restart.
Same thing with teamviewer.
