Bug Description
The Adobe Flash plugin does not support the "wmode" option used by many websites.
As a result, all Flash is drawn on top of other content, often obscuring major parts of web pages and making it unusable.
*There is unfortunately nothing we can do.* If you want this fixed, vote for the bug on Adobe's bug tracker.

Test case:
http://
Try to operate the menus at left or top. The boxes are obscured by the Flash content.

Braden: I would like to open this bug up to a more focused issue and thus change

beppe: I think "Windowless plug-in support for X" pretty accurately describes
the problem here. The problem is by no means unique to Flash. It sounds to me
that if we did what you describe, this would be a duplicated of bug 44322. This
bug exists because bug 44322 was resolved without addressing this issue for X.
If it is preferred that a single bug be used to track this issue on all
platforms--and especially if there exist problems with windowless plug-ins on
Windows and/or Mac that would be motivation for broadening the scope of this
bug--I suggest that it is appropriate to reopen bug 44322 and mark this one as a
duplicate of it.

I think bug 44322 should stay closed, it was about reproducing the NS 4.x
functionality. The title of this bug seems to describe pretty well what this bug
is about.
Has anyone verified that windowless plugins don't work under X, I'm sure they
don't work, but a test case would be useful. I'd probably have a look at this if
I didn't have to go to the effort of learning how to implement the plugin side
of a windowless plugin under X. I wouldn't expect a fix to be too difficult,
there is a lot of #ifdef'd code in the windowless code that passes windows
specific messages - I would guess that we just need to work out what the
appropriate action would be for X in each of these cases.
In Mozilla Bugzilla #137189, Srgchrpv (srgchrpv) wrote : | #8 |
there is no windowless plug-in support on X, and never been, even in 4.x world,
therefore I'm not aware of any test cases,
anyway I wouldn't change anything in this bug, it is valid generic X bug,
not only flash relatead.

If someone can give me the hooks to do an XCopyArea from the browser window to
the Flash buffer I will implement this. I have all the framework in place, it
seems to work, I just need to get the browser pixels at the start of our redraw
cycle. Note that hooks to do an XCopyArea from an offscreen X image holding
the browser window image would be preferable though I imagine one of these
doesn't exist.

Hi Ed, I had just started looking at getting this working. Can you attach a

In Mozilla Bugzilla #137189, Edwardmillard (edwardmillard) wrote : | #11 |
All the work I've done is in our plugin, so there is no patch that will be of
much use to you. I've basicly just implemented the Windowless code we are
using in our Mac player up to the point that where I need X11 hooks to get an
XImage from the browser.
In Mozilla Bugzilla #137189, Mozilla-paperetto (mozilla-paperetto) wrote : | #12 |
I was looking at implementing this in a similar way to windows. So, that an
XEvent will get passed through HandleEvent. I was thinking of using an Expose
event and passing the drawable through in the Window parameter. Would that work
for you? I'll try to put together a patch this weekend.
In Mozilla Bugzilla #137189, Edwardmillard (edwardmillard) wrote : | #13 |
If the drawable is an off screen XImage it will work. If the drawable is a
window the flicker will be unacceptable because there will be a long period
while the browser background is on screen. I'm told Windowless mode isn't
supported on Mac Classic for this same reason, flicker.
There are also needs to be a protocol on who ultimately puts the off screen
image on screen. I'm assuming it will be the plugin but I'm not sure what the
pro's and con's are.
In Mozilla Bugzilla #137189, Mozilla-paperetto (mozilla-paperetto) wrote : | #14 |
The drawable will be an offscreen image, which will only be valid for use for
the length of the call to HandleEvent. The browser will be passing its current
backbuffer through to the plugin, to allow the plugin to render directly into it.

Rough patch for implementing windowless support on Unix
The patch does not work in its current state, I have attached it so I don't
lose what I've done. It is also not very polished, e.g. I am sure there is a
better way of doing the GTK specific stuff without #ifdefing it everywhere. The
aim at the moment is to get it working and worry about tidying it up later!
On the plugin side I have implemented HandleEvent as follows:
uint16 nsPluginInstanc
{
NPEvent * event = (NPEvent *)aEvent;
switch (event->type) {
case GraphicsExpose:
{
XGraphicsExpos
//GC gc = XCreateGC(
//mWindow is stored from the call to SetWindow
if(!mWindow)
return 1;
GC gc = (GC)(mWindow-
if (!gc)
return 1;
XDrawRectangle
However it crashes inside the call to XDrawRectangle, which I guess means that
there is something wrong with the drawable. I'm not really an expert on Xlib so
if anyone has any suggestions I'll be grateful.

I wish I'd known about this bug!
There is a fairly easy way to do this. When we call Paint() on the plugin frame,
it should synthesize an event and pass it to the plugin, along with a drawable
obtained from the nsIRenderingContext parameter. This drawable will be an
*offscreen* pixmap (because the view manager paints frames onto an offscreen
area for double-buffering purposes).

You want NS_NATIVE_WINDOW so that this can work in GTK1.
Other than that, this looks pretty good on the painting side. But the event

a field "window" in the "NPWindow" Structure, such as In Windows Platform, just explained as a hdc.
can we add a variable in the class "ns4xPluginInst
if it is windowless. then we can retrieve it. if it is windowed ,we just omit it.

The flash, the proof-of-concept works fine for me, but it still does not fix the problem on other websites. Even "Adobe.com" still gets the same problem.
i would have to say asking thousands of sites to implement some sort of fix for the problem would be asking too much. They wont do it, trust me. Implementing a fix in Firefox would be the ideal solution.

That means you did not understand the problem. The diamond is supposed to be alpha composited on top of the HTML page. Right now the background always stays plain white. If it would be working there would be no white. No browser on Linux or BSD supports this right now.
The patch attached to this bug is trying to address this, but right now it segfaults the test plugin and no events are dispatched. This needs to be fixed before we can make any progress.

patch using gfxXlibNativeRe
This patch provides windowless drawing support and the modified unixprinting test plugin works as expected with the dhtml and background in attachment 169652. (It draws a centered rectangle and also the dirty rectangle outline for testing.)
The DiamondX plugin needs some modification to work with this windowless API.
The major changes from the previous patch are:
* Use gfxXlibNativeRe
(The rendering context doesn't have a gdk widget for a Drawable.)
* Using an XGraphicsExpose
dirty rectangle.
* Removed the XGraphicsExpose
to the containing window origin. If necessary, this is probably better
done with an XConfigureEvent. But AFAIK it is only used on Windows for
interpreting mouse events. X11 mouse events have root window coordinates
so I don't think the information will be needed.
* The NPSetWindowCall
call contains the visual to use, but currently none of the other fields
contain useful information. The display for the Document window could be
useful as the display for the Drawable need not be the same. Is anything
else needed here?

X11 windowless plugin support 0.1
This patch includes the previous (drawing) patch and adds event dispatching.
It should be very usable now.
The mouse events have x and y relative to the plugin rectangle origin. This
seemed the most useful information to me, but is not the same as what is
provided on Windows. (I think on Windows the mouse events are relative to the
containing window.)
As the XEvents sent to the plugin are synthesized and there is not a native
window corresponding to the plugin rectangle, some of the fields of the
XEvents are not set to their normal Xserver values. e.g. Key events don't
have a position. However the information should be complete enough. (It is
enough for the DiamondX plugin, but this plugin needs some modification for
windowless support).
The mouse events do not yet have the root window coordinates set.
Are these needed?
It seems that Mozilla doesn't send mouse scroll events to (windowless)
plugins. Not sure if this is intentional or not.
This patch also activates the code for the NPNVnetscapeWindow GetValue call,
which returns the containing native window (not the document window as is
sometimes returned on Windows).

I'm not familiar enough with the 1.8 branch to know the best way to obtain the drawable. You'd need something that was a mix of the patches in comment #20 and/or #26 and the latest patches.

This bug has been on market for quite some time, and those of us who use FF under Linux suffer a lot with it.
I know now it is Adobe´s responsibility to fix this, however, since Flash is a must have plugin nowadays, would it not be possible to make a (dirty) fix on the code on FF to workaround it temporarily? Konqueror seems to have done it, so in theory, FF can do it also. I can note use some sites the way it is now, it is terrible...
I´ve already contacted Adobe on this, I think all of us must do the same to make to pressure them (since FF folks blame them).
Until Adobe fix it, I (and all Linux + FF users) surely would benefit a lot from this code hack (if it is possible).
Thank you.

It is indeed the same bug, but manivested trough a lack of transparancy of the plugin window.
The flash image seems to be black in color, where on windows and mac this black would be transparent and thus allow the blue of the lower half of the menu to shine trough. A quick fix for the webmaster is to select the same color blue as the background color of his flash movie instead of the black he's currently using. Nothing new here, so no need for a new bug.

Upgrades of the Adobe Flash plug-in have occurred after this bug was marked as RESOLVED FIXED, so perhaps the question should be asked more explicitly as whether the appropriate communication between the Firefox and Adobe Flash developers about this matter also has occurred.

See comment #93. Windowless support in Flash may require significant changes to the plug-in, and I know Adobe are working on this.

I can confirm this for one of my client's (rather largely used) websites:
http://
The flash content will always cover the drop-down menus near the top of the page. This is an extremely severe bug for us, as it is causing the club directors to not want to move to Ubuntu from Windows (which is offered to the clubs for free from MS). Also, a bug with 20 marked duplicates should probably have some special attention put toward fixing it for the current stable release (2.0), whether it's an Adobe issue or not. Just MHO, though.

I think the misunderstanding is that in this post:

They introduce the XEmbed addition to the flash player, and released a test case, claiming that it will lead to possible wmode transparency in the Flash player. That set up the expectation then future posts about XEmbed seemed to be talking about this feature.
If you read it carefully, they merely say that it could lead to fixed wmode support, not that it would. So I think maybe some of us have just had the wrong idea.

When i go to http://
reproduce this issue with Firefox-3 Flash 10 32 bit Interpid and Hardy.
This i dont think a flash issue at all i think its the keyboard picture
at the top since the menus to the right of that picture work fine, I
would have to say this is a site issue more than Flash issue ill post a
few screenshots of the menus.

It *is* a Flash issue, the Adobe Flash Player for Windows is a different

It's the Adobe Flash Player for Linux at fault - Mozilla for Linux/X11 has
had windowless plugin support for ages now. Getting this fixed properly is

Xeno Campanoli (xeno) wrote : | #207 |
With respect, there is an incentive for Adobe to do nothing until a competing activity threatens its revenues critically, and the only reasonable countervaling power in such a matter is a free software corollary, like a GNU flash plugin, that works better and threatens to take the lead in standardizations. Interestingly, it is also a power point because anyone who does so, in any capacity will be highly interesting to any employer, and the entire engineering community, for the rest of her/his life for such a coup / accomplishment.
Yes, that's easy to say. It's also obvious if you think about it a minute. Most engineers will not because they are already busy with other stuff right now, price of oil being such an important economic substitute for engineering (which is to say, price rise in one will push rise in other).

on debin sid (with ati M7500 open source video driver) it did not crash the browsers but was not so usable too :-(

In my case the problem is the opensource nv driver has no

goes away, although there are still some minor rendering bugs.
Still, it's a major step forward.

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought this bug report was about wmode in flash for linux, not the relative performance of flash 10 vs. flash 9. I thought people who were subscribed to this bug report would like to know that it is possible to fix the issue for their system, regardless of whether or not it's available in the ubuntu repositories yet or not.

Brad, there is no need to get so defensive. The (Ubuntu) items listed in the "Affects" table relate to the actual packages that we distribute. It should not be changed to Fix Released until it the actual fix hits the "proposed" archive.
You may add an "upstream" and mark that as Fix Released, if that floats your boat. I have done this as an example. You must leave the bug open against the Ubuntu package in order for the packagers to know that this still needs resolving by packaging the newer version.

I can confirm that the new nspluginwrapper 1.1.0 development version works a lot better than the old 0.9.x/1.0.0. WMODE is indeed fixed, I can see the menus at adobe.com for example. And at least for me, Flash 10 is a whole lot better in terms of performance -- especially with activated hardware acceleration.
With Intrepid shipping Flash 10, I think the new nspluginwrapper is a must!

If it is possible you have another else plugin installed.

Works for me as well. I previously had issues, but that was due to the
"fixes" that I had in for the earlier releases of the Flash player
plugin. However, after I edited the mms.cfg in /etc/adobe it works fine.
I am running 10.0 r15 as well in Ubuntu 8.04 with FF 3.06.
Just out of curiousity, are you running NoScript as a FF Plugin and

This was a bad idea. by installiog the upstream package as oppsed to
ours its hard to test ours if we add a updated package. If upstream
package has same issue its most likely upstreams fault. Please try to
locate their bug tracker and report it ther as well.

I'm still encountering this problem on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic, Firefox 3.5 (3.5.6+
Do I need to install anything extra?
Thanks

@umang
This was fixed in Firefox 3. If you feel you are experiencing a regression, please file a new bug (ubuntu-bug firefox-3.5) and mention this bug #.
Thanks.

Umang, are you using 64 bit? By default, Ubuntu uses 32 bit flash player with nspluginwrapper. Try the 64 bit flash player from here: http://
Umang Varma (umang) wrote : | #273 |
No, I have an "P III", so I am using 32 bit Ubuntu (and 32 bit flash also).

I don't have this problem with nspluginwrapper in the developement version of ubuntu. can we close the task?
Umang Varma (umang) wrote : | #275 |
Yes. I won't be able to test this issue soon and seemed to be the only one affected at that point (I had asked a few people with similar configurations whether they had any problem). I'd assume it's fixed if nobody is affected.

There is also an updated official Adobe version of the 64bit Flash player here, as of earlier this week : http://
Please also note that Adobe hasn't recommended the use of nspluginwrapper for some time...

Muito interessante, eu fiz o teste no site abaixo e me parece normal.
..probably can be done on Linux since it works on Windows, but dunno where to
start. Did 4.x have an implementation?
