[feisty]firefox full screen

[Fernando Miguel]

pressing F11 on firefox wont make it full screen.
this also happens on VLC

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

What version of firefox? If you click view>full screen doe it work? What version of ubuntu are you using? Im using Version 2.0.0.1+0dfsg-0ubuntu0.6.10 and i am unable to reproduce this witht hat version in edgy.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

Im gonna assign this to the mozillateam for now but im not real sure if this is a mozilla issue yet. are you using mozilla-plugin-vlc or just vlc to reproduce this with vlc?

[Fernando Miguel (fernandomiguel)]

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061201 Firefox/2.0.0.1 (Ubuntu-feisty)
it worked when I tryied on edgy, but on feisty it wont work for me.
I do have vlc plugin for mozilla

[Matt Thompson (mattthompson)]

Do you use compiz or beryl?

I had this problem once when one of those two also used F11 as a shortcut, it might be the same thing.

[Fernando Miguel (fernandomiguel)]

nope. I dont have beryl or any other window manager installed

[Freddy Martinez (freddymartinez9)]

Can not reproduce on Feisty Herd 2 with KDE 3.5.6.

Have you tried a new profile?

[Fernando Miguel (fernandomiguel)]

I'm using gnome.
I'll try with another user profile and report back.

[Fernando Miguel (fernandomiguel)]

fresh profile on both kernel 2.6.20-6-generic and kernel 2.6.20-5-generic, and still no F11 working

Is this something like Bug #54548 ?

[Fernando Miguel (fernandomiguel)]

Not sure Thomas. As I said, it happens on FireFox.
And yes, I do have vlc plugin for mozilla. I might try uninstaling that if u think it helps.

[Thomas Hotz (thotz-deactivatedaccount)]

I don't think uninstalling will help. I just wanted to know if you can go to fullscreen mode with the _standalone_ VLC player. Can you?

[Fernando Miguel (fernandomiguel)]

using the "F" key shortcut, VLC wont maximize.

still waiting on updates on this... now one else has this problem?

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

does F11 work on some sites, but not on others or is it broken everywhere?

What extensions do you have installed? if you have any installed, try to run

  # firefox -safe-mode

and let us know if that helps.

[Fernando Miguel (fernandomiguel)]

it doesnt work in any case, even with a new profile.

[Freddy Martinez (freddymartinez9)]

We can not confirm this until somebody can reproduce this bug.

So this is not only true for Firefox.
I think it also affects VLC. Have a look at Bug #54548.

[Fernando Miguel (fernandomiguel)]

I've done a fresh install of Ubuntu 7.04 based on herd4.
even with default FF profile, I cant get F11 key to work.

can it be a keyboard function mal set?

[Fernando Miguel (fernandomiguel)]

please close this bug tracking, since it has been fixed and was hardware related.

Sorry.
