1141718 - [e10s] Mouse cursor disappears when mousing out of flash player on Hulu.com

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Trevor Rowbotham [:rowbot]]

Attachment: mouse_cursor_disappears.mp4

STR:
1) Play a video on Hulu.com
2) Move the cursor out of the flash player to the top, right, or bottom of the player.

Actual results:
The cursor is hidden when moving it around the page until it mouses over an element that causes a style change.

Expected results:
The mouse cursor should display when outside the flash player.

This is e10s only.  Moving the cursor out of the flash player to the left does not exhibit this behavior.  Mousing over another element that causes a style change will cause the mouse cursor to display.  This also sometimes causes the mouse cursor to disappear on other tabs if you have a video on Hulu.com playing in a background tab.

I had thought that this had been fixed and was going to close this bug as fixed, but after testing to make sure I noticed my cursor flickering whenever I moused in and out of the flash player. It is no longer as bad as what the original video shows.  It seems now like the plugin's position is off by maybe 2 pixels and its only in that 2 pixel space that I can cause the cursor to disappear now, so this probably isn't really worth fixing anymore since its so minor.

Tested on win7 with latest nightly, I *can't* reproduce.
