Flash fullscreen mode sometimes off-center

[deliciousfudge]

When launching fullscreen mode for flash videos, the output can sometimes be offset (see attached screenshot to get an idea). The frequency of this varies - sometimes fullscreen centers fine first time, whereas in other attempts it can take up to six times (launching fullscreen, hitting ESC to cancel, trying again) to get it to align correctly.

I've tried the Silverlight5.1 and Widevine plugins as well, with neither having the same problem. I also tried the native linux browser plugin, which again doesn't have the same problem, so I think it may be to do with the flash-plugin specifically.

Requested info below:

* Linux Mint 17 Qiana with Cinnamon Window Manager (64-bit)
* System Check: http://pastebin.com/UGHYKRkE
* List Enabled:

"silverlight5.1
flash
widevine"

* Error occurs on any flash video.
* Console output from Firefox: http://pastebin.com/XgayqtPM
* No changes made to configuration file

And if it makes any difference, my graphics card is an ATI Radeon HD 6750

Thanks!

Hi,

do you have multiple monitors connected? I am currently only aware of such a problem when using multiple screens.

Hi Michael,

I've only ever had a single monitor connected, so I don't think that would
be the cause.

Thanks,
Roger

Hi,

I was not able to reproduce this yet. For me the flash player always goes correctly to fullscreen on youtube. The only idea I currently have is to create a debug log with WINEDEBUG=+win ( see http://pipelight.net/cms/faqs/faq-how-to-capture-debug-output.html ) which may contain the necessary functions calls to determine the fullscreen coordinates. The disadvantage is that this debug channel contains all kind of window related information and may produce a lot of output. Your screen resolution is also helpful to check the values inside the debug log.

Hi Michael,

I've created a debug log like you said and attached it, though I'm unable to pinpoint the exact point where the problem arises. My resolution is 1920x1080.

I suffer from the same issue with an up-to-date version of pipelight. Is there any test I can do in order to help?
