Have you tried Alt+` on gnome-shell to bring it to the foreground. The classic gnome is still all gnome3 shell just a different look and feel (In reply to Peter Robinson from comment #1) > Have you tried Alt+` on gnome-shell to bring it to the foreground. The > classic gnome is still all gnome3 shell just a different look and feel I tried ALT+<TILDE> (the key above the tab key) but that is not helping either. As its is recognized as seperate application in the "Alt+Tab" application. Also I can navigate to that application but it has no window preview and Alt+Tab is not bringing the window into front. It seems like it is minimized or something. Btw. I also tried that with Gnome 3.6 and there it is working. So it is definitely a regression in the window manager mutter.

Just as clearification I don't mean the ALT+Tab or Alt+<TILDE> thing here but just plain toggle fullscreen on the flashplayer plugin which works without any problem.
I confirm the same problem with Firefox 22.0 Adobe Flash Player Version: 11.2.202.297 GNOME 3.8 for all flash video. Previously worked with F19 Beta I think. No problem now with Firefox 22.0 and KDE 4.10.5. All Updated today with yum. AMD Radeon HD7950 with proprietary driver 13.6-0.1Beta.fc19 (no overlay for tvtime with the opensource driver unfortunately) Best regards, Electron. I can confirm this problem too. gnome-shell: 3.8.3-3 mutter: 3.8.3-1 firefox: 22.0-1 flash-plugin: 11.2.202.297 Intel core i3 with no proprietary driver. For now, I am using the gnome extension "Minimized Windows List" to choose the fullscreen video. This is a workaround for those that do not use gnome-shell classic view. Same behavior with: gnome-shell-3.8.4-2.fc19.x86_64 firefox-23.0.1-4.fc19.x86_64 flash-plugin-11.2.202.310-release.x86_64 I found out that you can put the plugin-container to foreground in the "Activities"-Menu (mouse to the left-upper-edge). You'll find the plugin-container at the end of the list/icons. Still in gnome-shell 3.10 and firefox 24. I found a nice workaround also :) Just double click the full screen button in the flash video player (if it has a fullscreen button). Somehow this brings the window into foreground. At least it works for me but I also noticed that it does not work reliable every time. The same issue. I'm confirming This problem isn't in GS. Instead of closing how about reassigning to mutter as it actually is a bug of the window manager. We have workaround, but now I can't find original bug at BGO.. https://github.com/RussianFedora/mutter/blob/f20/fixes/mutter-3.8.3-fullscreen-flash-player.patch We're not going to apply a random patch. It needs to be upstream and a patch in git master at the very least (In reply to Peter Robinson from comment #12) > We're not going to apply a random patch. It needs to be upstream and a patch > in git master at the very least Sure, I'm also don't like such patches. I will try to find bug in BGO. *pointer = TRUE anyway bad solution. BTW, problems in flashplayer I think. Peter, I really want to close this bug as WONTFIX, because flash-player is proprietary software. gnash-plugin always works OK in fullscreen cases. What do you think ? I'm happy to close this as won't fix but even though it is proprietary it is still a legitimate bug that could affect other applications that aren't proprietary so I'd still like to know, for reference in this bug what the upstream bug report is. It would be sad closing this because flash-player as buggy and proprietary as it is is working fine with other window managers (e.g. metacity) and worked before with gnome 2.x . Not fixing this bug would definitely dissatisfy the users suffering from it. That needs to land upstream before we'll even consider pulling it back This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. |
