Created attachment 827318 PoC patch for both winless and windowed plugins. (Windows)
This proposal is a sensible workaround (as a "complete" solution would require the collaboration of every single plugin developer, which doesn't seem feasible) for Windows. Is my understanding that OSX is not affected, and a solution already exists for GNU/Linux, please correct me if I'm wrong. I've implemented two different strategies, one for plugins running in its own window, and the other for the winless ones. The first one installs a keyboard hook, which looks for well known keystrokes, and passes the focus to the main window when one is found. The second passes all key events to both the plugin and the DOM, except for the ones which generates movement events (arrow keys, space, pageup/pagedown...). This patch is intended as a Proof-of-Concept, it needs betters comments, an approved list of keystrokes to watch, and (probably) the ability to be enabled/disabled via "about:config". But I wanted to obtain early feedback from the devs prior to investing more work on it. -- 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
