758982 - flash fulscreen uses wrong monitor after moving tab to a window in another monitor

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(External Software Affecting Firefox Graveyard :: Flash (Adobe), defect)

Description

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:12.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/12.0
Build ID: 20120420145725

Steps to reproduce:

You'll need a dual-monitor setup.
Open one Firefox window in each monitor.
In the first monitor, have two tabs open, one of which has a video. I can reproduce this bug with http://www.wimp.com/armyprank/ (but this bug doesn't happen with a youtube video).

Drag the tab with the video into the window on the second monitor.
Press the fullscreen button on the video player.


Actual results:

The video goes fullscreen on the first monitor.


Expected results:

The video goes fullscreen on the second monitor.

Doing the equivalent steps with Google Chrome 19.0.1084.52 m behaves as expected.
Doing the equivalent steps with a Youtube video behaves as expected.

I'm experiencing this bug too. However, I don't need to explicitly start a new window on the second monitor, it happens when I drag a tab from my main monitor to the second monitor and a new windows is created automatically. Only youtube works as expected, that is full screen is opened on the monitor where the window is.

I am also experiencing this bug. I can reproduce it 100%, both with new windows opened on the second display, and with tabs from an existing window dragged onto the other display.

In addition:
1) Open Firefox on monitor 1.
2) Drag tab with video to monitor 2 (at this point all full-screen playback will be on monitor 1)
3) Right click video on monitor 2.
4) Flash Player context menu appears in Firefox window on monitor 1, with focus switched to that window.
5) Closing context menu returns focus to window on monitor 2.

Same issue still exists.

Open window on Monitor 1 ( taskbar monitor 2 to the left ), move window to monitor 2, move flash player window to its own window on monitor 1, fullscreen flash opens in monitor 2 instead of monitor 1.

Issue still remains, most notibly for me on twitch.com with their flash player.

I'm closing a lot of bugs which are filed as Adobe Flash bugs which are either irrelevant, not actionable, or not serious enough to track in the Mozilla bug tracker. For the most part, Flash bugs should be filed in Adobe bugbase, and we'll only track a few highly-critical issues in the Mozilla tracker.
