1.  Go to a page that plays QuickTime movies, e.g.
http://www.apple.com/trailers/newline/austin_powers_secrets.html.
2.  Click inside the QuickTime window to play the movie.

Expected behavior:  Movie plays in the full QuickTime window size.

Actual behavior:  Movie plays in a smaller area within the QuickTime window.

Winnie, does this happen in Mozilla?

The current behavior is the correct and expected behavior. Clicking on the "Play
Movie" image loads a different QuickTime movie, dependent on your Connection
Speed as set in the QuickTime system prefs. If set to 56k, a small sized movie
will be loaded. If set to T1, a movie the same size the plug-in's frame will be
loaded.

There is, however, one difference that makes this behavior more conspicuous in
Chimera than in IE. In Chimera, the area within the plug-in's frame that is not
covered by the movie is filled with the pin-striped controlColor. In IE, the web
page's background (whatever it may be) shows through instead.

Thanks, Ben.  You're right.  Changing the connection speed in my QT prefs did
change the size of the QT movie frame.

Marking as invalid.

Ben, could you file a new bug for the background color issue?
