677573 - [10.7] Mission Control can't switch to other windows on the same desktop if Firefox 5 is in full-screen mode

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Widget: Cocoa, defect)

Description

[Matthew Middleton (:zzxc)]

A user on SUMO reported that it's impossible to use Mission Control in OS X Lion to switch to other windows on the same desktop if Firefox is in full-screen mode.  Trying to switch to another window simply switches back to the full-screen Firefox.

STR:
1. Open Firefox and at least one other application in the same desktop.
2. In Firefox, press Cmd+Shift+F to trigger full screen.
3. Use a gesture or shortcut to bring up Mission Control (http://www.tuaw.com/2011/07/20/mac-os-x-lion-and-mission-control/)
4. Click on the other application and notice that Firefox re-appears.

Note: This is separate from the issue of the swipe gesture not bringing up Mission Control, which is bug 673675.

Firefox doesn't support Lion's Full Screen yet.

Adding native Lion Full Screen ( 639705 ) will fix this bug.

This isn't a separate bug, nor does it block 639705.

It's been a few months and maybe something has changed now that we're at OS X 10.7.2 or something platform side, but this is WFM.

As mentioned, native fullscreen support is a different bug, but even without that I can't reproduce.

Per previous comment, WFM.
