Do you still see this problem using latest version of Firefox and Flash (10)?

If you do, please comment.
If you do not see the problem, please close the bug - don't use resolution=FIXED, change resolution to:
- INVALID if you believe the problem was flash player
- WORKSFORME if you believe the problem was in Firefox
- INCOMPLETE if it is impossible to test (url or testcase is gone)

I just re-tested this bug. Firefox still have a better behaviour, but this bug isn't fixed.
When pass the steps to reproduce this issue, resizing the windows immediatly correct well the flash screen that it fits the current tab. I don't notice any issue when i manualy resize the windows and changing tabs.

The issue only appear when i maximize the flash's tab (or full screen-F11), changing tab and restore windows, and after go back to the flash's tab that don't fit well the screen.
(test with Firefox 3.0.6 under XP, Flash 10)

I´ve just checked my flash player version, firefox version, all updated and this bug isnt fixed yet, when there is more than one tab open, and i close all and let just the flash content open, the flash content resizes, but when i have only the flash content open and i open another tab, the flash content doesnt resize, the window become smaller but the flash content stay bigger than the window size, it only fix the size when i resize or reload the page.

On one site (I was able to reproduce this bug using 3.0.7 on XP and the latest version of Flash, 10.0 r22. The Flash content doesn't resize to fit the window size when you restore from full screen.

Reiterating steps:
1. Open a browser window and go to site: http://new.reebokclub.com.br/
2. Open another, blank, tab.
3. Go full screen. Select the tab with Flash content. Make a note of what is displayed.
4. Select the blank tab, and get out of full screen (original size)
5. Check the Flash tab

Expected: Flash content should be resized to fit.

Actual: Some of the content is cropped, when the browser window was resized.

This, however, might not be the case with other sites with Flash content.

This happens with all websites with flash 100% of width and 100% of height and the overflow is hidden, not just this, i´ve tryed a lot of them and all are the same error, what doesnt happens to others browsers, so the bug must be on firefox, note that when overflow is not hidden the resize event is fired, but with overflow:hidden; the event resize is not fired...

If there is any solution for this please help me, because my site the menu is at the botton of the flash content.
