Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Kent Paul Dolan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0

Watching the video at the URLed site, in a roughly square aspect
window, I maximezed the flash viewport to the window size. The
video played okay, but then when I clicked the window's upper
right corner "maximize" widget, the video halted, Firefox became
unresponsive (never, for example, painting the fullscreen window's
contents, refusing to close in response to the close widget) and
eventually had to be shut down with the WinXP task manager.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open URL in a less than maximized window
2. Start flash video
3. Maximize flash vidoe box to window size using provided widget
4. Wait a bit, then while video is still playing...
5. Click window's "maximize" widget.
6. Boom.


Actual Results:  
Crash, loss of current state, loss of browser, possible data loss.

Expected Results:  
Video plays through to completion, while window added space gets
painted in by browser software.

Talkback, which I'm pretty sure I've installed, never came up,
but a "you recently crashed, do you want to start with the old
tabset" requestor did appear when next I started Firefox.

Works for me as well, now, but then I fairly recently upgraded
to the most recent Firefox, self-identified as:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3

Changing to FIXED.
