Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect, P3)

Description

[Virgil Dicu [:virgil] [QA]]

Attachment: Imdb video player after drag

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:19.0) Gecko/19.0 Firefox/19.0 build ID: 20121012030610
Adobe Flash: 11,4,402,287 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Firefox;
2. Open a new tab with an imdb.com trailer;
3. With the video playing or not, drag the imdb tab on the desktop (a new window is opened).

Expected result:
Video trailer should be seen playing in the new window in the upper side of the page.

Actual result:
In the new window, flash video player is located way down low - as seen in screenshots.

Note:
The context menu of the dragged video appears in a different location as in Bug 800928.

This is reproducible on Windows and Mac OS X 10.7 with the latest Nightly, the latest Aurora (18.0a2) and Beta (17b1), and ever since Firefox 4.0 (for this case I used Flash having the Protected mode disabled).
This is not reproducible on Ubuntu 12.04.

Reproducible also with older Adobe Flash versions, tested with: 11.2.202.235 and 11.3.300.273.

please do not file bugs in plugins/adobe. Always file them in Core:Plugins and let me triage them.

Does this happen with any other Flash video players?

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:19.0) Gecko/19.0 Firefox/19.0

Retested on latest Firefox Nightly with the Adobe Flash Beta 11.5 and the video player is located correctly on page but the context menu is still in a different location as the mouse pointer is (bug 800928 for vimeo.com).

This doesn't appear for youtube.com or hulu.com. 

Solved for Mac OS X 10.8.

Benjamin, would this be Tech Evangelism since it only happens with imbd.com's player? Probably the same for bug 800928.

Flash is no longer supported.
