notify-osd takes you out of the fullscreen flashplayer

Thanks for the bug report. I can reproduce the anomaly.

I don't see why flashplayer reacts this way when a notification appear on the screen.

It is a bug in the flashplayer.

This one seems to be close to the problem we're experiencing:
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-1387 - Mutimedia keys acts as
Escape in player fullscreen mode (Linux)

It seems not specific to notify-osd, as this other bug report mentions
8.04 as well: https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-902 - Volume
controls cause Flash fullscreen to exit to standard resolution

Marking as invalid, please follow the resolution in one of the upstream bugs mentioned in the last comment.

But this bug doesn't affect Windows.
So how can it be a flashplayer bug ? It only affects Ubuntu. Doesn't it ?

It's a bug of the Linux version of Flash.

Would the fix for https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/388547 also automatically solve this bug?

More importantly, shouldn't certain keys be catched by gnome or the xserver and not ever be send down to the actual application?

I think the flash-player even _receiving_ the volume control keypress is a bug. It shouldn't get any event, the message was not intended for flash.

All key-binding in metacity/compiz (System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts) should always be catched, and should never be send to current application.

If there is overlap between application defined keys and default gnome shortcuts, then that would be a bug _anyway_ and the current behavior would just be dangerous. Imagine a program binding alt-tab to some destructive operation. People should have the confidence than those keys work consistently without any risk.

it is not because of notify-osd, when it appears it does not take me out of youtube fullscreen videos, but when i volume up or down, at least this is my case

i do not know if it has to do with notify-osd animations or not, i really do not know i just had to say this

Looks like this and its dupes are dupes of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/224475 . Shall I move them over? Also if you are experiencing this, don't forget to subscribe and vote for the upstream issue: https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-902 .

it seems that this is a dupe, as when Notify-OSD sends a notification (such as a Pidgin contact going offline), fullscreen remains. However, as soon as I touch my volume key, it loses fullscreen.
