Captures keyboard

[Shahar Or]

Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

Dear friends,

After an embedded flash area is clicked, flash captures all keystokes which otherwise would be captured by Firefox.

For example, trying to open a new tab using <Ctrl>+T while watching a youtube video does nothing. Same goes for all keyboard shortcuts.

Naturally, keystrokes which are captured by the window manager are not affected, so closing the windows using <Alt>+<F4> works.

I think that it should be expected that Firefox's hot-keys would still work, even if a flash area is selected.

Will this break flash applications which are listening for these keys for user input? I bet this issue is reported upstream and has a long discussion on it.

Perhaps nothing can be done about it currently, but nevertheless, I think it is a bug.

Many blessings.

I do not think it's a bug.

Perhaps it could be change (epiphany doesn't have that "problem") but I do not think it is a bug. And it is surely not related to Ubuntu since you would have the same problem on Windows.

If I can suggest, visit the mozilla.org website (there? http://support.mozilla.com/fr/kb/Support+Website+Forums) and submit your request.

Thank you!

Ps. If you do think it's a real bug, you can let it open. Else, I suggest you close this bug (set it in invalid state).

Sorry. Didn't want to put it in Invalid since I'm not sure it's not a bug.

I'll let you (or others) judge.
