Space bar does not pause in non-fullscreen mode

[Greg Michalec]

With totem 1.4.1-0ubuntu4:
When playing a media file in totem, when not in fullscreen mode, pressing space does not pause. Instead, it seems to 'highlight' the volume control, but does not appear to do anything useful. When in fullscreen mode, hitting space does pause the playback, which I think is the expected behavior (this is how many other media players work - ie mplayer, vlc, etc.)

I confirm this bug. The normal behaviour can be obtained by pushing "tab" twice.

Space=pause will then work as long as you don't press "tab" anymore.

I rejected this very old upload, since it hasn't gone through the usual SRU
process.

Thank you for posting this bug.

Dapper is in End of Life status. Please update and repost detailed error report.

I think this bug can be closed - in Ubuntu 11.10, totem does pause when you hit the spacebar when in windowed mode.
