I can confim that this is fixed in Unity (flash videos can go fullscreen without the window being automatically closed), however new windows don't always get focus, hence unity won't hide or the window won't be shown straight away. I've opened a new bug for that #642994.
I'm closing this one again as the issue here is fixed, please subscribe to the other bug to track the fixes with focusing new windows. ** Changed in: unity Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- cannot go fullscreen for flash videos https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/631381 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
