Bug Description
I've been using Ubuntu desktop since April of 2007 (starting with version 7.04).
This is the oldest unfixed bug I know of.
When you have two monitors, if you maximize a youtube flash video on one monitor, any action you perform on the other monitor minimizes the video.
It has always been impossible to watch a flash video full-screen on one monitor while preforming tasks on a second monitor.
I reported this back in 2007, but couldn't find that bug report.
Anyway, it is 7 years later, and the bug still persists.
