Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Guillermo Simeon]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; fr; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; fr; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6

Confirm for flash website that uses 100% of the window.
I don't mean fullscreen flash like youtube fullscreen mode.
Only flash sites that resize and reposition content based on user screen size.
(100% x 100%)

When you trigger context-menu (right-click), vertical and horizontal scrollbars are shown, which is annoying since these websites often use their own scrollbars/navigation.

If you click on the address bar scrollbars disappear until you click back on the flash site.

Workaround for this bug is to add `overflow:hidden;` to body :
body {
    overflow:hidden;
}

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open 100% x 100% flash site
2.right click
3.
Actual Results:  
Vertical and horizontal scrollbars are shown.

Expected Results:  
Nothing, no scrollbars

Might be only for flash with swfobject integration.

Confirmed for Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.2.1pre) Gecko/20100122 Namoroka/3.6.1pre and also reproducible with latest trunk.

Sounds related to / is a duplicate of Bug 541406.

The vertical scrollbar is shown for :
width:`whatever defined px width` X height: 100%

The horizontal scrollbar is shown for :
width 100% X height: `whatever defined px width`

Activating the flash (clicking on it) makes it happen (not related to context_menu)

Confirmed in firefox 3.6, either with win7 or winXP

Confirmed on Mac OS 10.6.2 for Firefox 3.6
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; nl; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6

Just clicking on the flash makes this annoying thing to happen, adding overflow:hidden does not solve this problem.

What solves the problem is adding "outline:none;" to the id of the container where the flash is embedded.

#flashContent {
	outline:none;
}

This looks like it WFM using latest trunk, is probably dupe to bug 541406?

Resolving old bugs which are likely not relevant any more, since NPAPI plugins are deprecated.
