1139814 - Unity player (pipelight) context menu remains in focus despite being in a different tab, window or workspace than the one currently active

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Andrei Vaida [:avaida]]

Reproducible on:
Nightly 39.0a1 (2015-03-04), Aurora 38.0a2 (2015-03-04), Beta 37.0b2 (20150302192546), Release 36.0 (20150222232811), Release 35.0.1 (20150122214805).

Affected platforms:
Ubuntu 14.04 (x64), Mac OS X 10.9.5 - partially, see note (d) below

Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch Firefox.
2. Access a website that provides Unity content - (e.g.) http://chromianwars.com/demo/.
3. Right click on the media frame.
4. Switch to a different tab. Switch to a different browser window. Switch to a different workspace by pressing [CTRL] + [ALT] + [←] / [→].

Expected result:
Bringing a different tab, window or workspace into focus, dismisses the context menu.

Actual result:
The context menu can only be dismissed by clicking on the media frame it originated from.

Notes:
(a) I've installed pipelight in order to view and interact with content that requires the Unity Web Player plug-in.
(b) This issue is reproducible with and without e10s enabled.
(c) I'll follow up with a regression range as soon as possible, as this might be an older regression, or an external/3rd party issue.
(d) On Mac OS X 10.9.5 this bug is only partially reproducible, when switching workspaces, otherwise the context menu has the expected behavior.
(e) This is not reproducible on Windows machines.
