Bug Description
Using xubuntu 12.04. Related packages: flashplugin-
I work with multiple displays and frequently have flash videos full-screen on my secondary monitor. However, when the full-screen flash video loses focus to another window it cancels full-screen mode.
I understand this may be an issue that walks the line of working as intended making this possibly a feature request rather than a bug report. However, this functionality is available on other operating systems (Windows/OSX) and think it's the intuitive way for a flash player to function.
Note: fullscreen flash is currently bugged in chrome. The solution to which is to install flashplugin-
