[Bug 263435]
Nevermind, sorry for the double comment, but this bug seems to cause another problem which it will utilize 100% CPU. Can someone streamline that fix? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263435 Title: Firefox cannot close tab (using Ctrl-w) when flash content is selected on page To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/263435/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm going to get the workaround patch and see if this fixes the problem. If it does, is there a way to nominate/vote the patch for the next release? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263435 Title: Firefox cannot close tab (using Ctrl-w) when flash content is selected on page To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/263435/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Do I understand this problem from a technical perspective? > 2. Am I helping to move towards a solution? > 3. Am I venting my frustration? The answers to these should be as follows: Yes, Yes, No. If you can't answer the questions in that sequence, then you need to curtail your commenting. I am backing up Mike in saying that these kinds of "Vent Frustration" comments need to be kept to a minimum and he did say himself that he will close this bug without it being resolved if nobody is willing to try to move toward a solution. Now I may have a theory as to how the hotkeys are being misplaced. 1. plugin opens. 2. until plugin has focus, Firefox checks hotkeys. 3. when plugin has focus, something either messes up or does as it's supposed to and stops the checking of hotkeys in case the plugin needs them. 4. Hotkeys no longer work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263435 Title: Firefox cannot close tab (using Ctrl-w) when flash content is selected on page To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/263435/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

That would require implementing an exception list for said plugins, and
the additional coding that entails. However, it could be simplified if
it's kept local to the browser and is set via the user.
Or, we could just reroute the keys:
On keyboard.keypress
{
key = plugin.keyboard_input
If key == firefox.any_system_command then
firefox.keyboard_input = key
}
This event would check every time a key was pressed/held down and would pass
the plugin key input back to firefox through it's own internal keyboard input.

The bug is that if the browser is playing a flash file, it's NON- RESPONSIVE to application shortcut keys, henry. It's a bug that has caused many people grief when they go to play flash files on their own machine whether they made it themselves and are testing it or are watching flashes they obtained online pretty much. So please READ THE BUG DESCRIPTION AND THE COMMENTS. Anyway... Back to my bug reporting self and as to how I can think of a solution... Has anyone tried looking at the code that directs the commands between the browser and any plugin loaded? Maybe there's something within those lines causing commands to be lost? (Maybe it's sending them to the flash rather than parsing them first to see if the user is trying to execute a command?) I know when I try to fullscreen during a flash file, I hit F11 and nothing happens AT ALL. It's like the shortcut didn't even exist. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263435 Title: Firefox cannot close tab (using Ctrl-w) when flash content is selected on page To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/263435/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Also, viewing an SWF in the entire browser area COMPLETELY disabled keyboard shortcuts. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263435 Title: Firefox cannot close tab (using Ctrl-w) when flash content is selected on page -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

As a user, I can say this: This bug has been semi-fixed, outside of flash/shockwave/java objects, the shortcut keys now work, but when viewing flash/shockwave/java from local media, the shortcuts still do not work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263435 Title: Firefox cannot close tab (using Ctrl-w) when flash content is selected on page -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
