[Bug 224475] Re: Pressing volume/brightness key changes window focus (e.g. makes Flash exit full screen)

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

** Summary changed:

- Pressing volume/brightness key unfocuses window (e.g. makes Flash exit full screen)
+ Pressing volume/brightness key changes window focus (e.g. makes Flash exit full screen)

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree
+ When the brightness or volume keys are pressed on a keyboard, focus
+ changes in the current window. At its mildest, this has odd visual
+ effects. At its worst, it causes the Adobe Flash player to exit full-
+ screen mode.
  
- I went into a flash video, e.g. in youtube, and put it in full screen mode.
- When I adjust the volume, the flash video return to normal size again, instead of remaining in full screen mode.
+ Steps to reproduce, A:
+ 1. Start playing a movie full-screen with the Adobe Flash plug-in.
+ 2. Press a brightness or volume key on the keyboard.
+ What happens: The Flash plug-in exits full screen.
+ What should happen: It shouldn't.
+ 
+ Steps to reproduce, B:
+ 1. In any standard GTK text field (e.g. GEdit or Geany), select some text.
+ 2. Press a brightness or volume key on the keyboard.
+ What happens: The selected text momentarily goes grey.
+ What should happen: The selected text stays the same color.
+ 
+ Steps to reproduce, C:
+ 1. Start writing an OpenOffice.org Writer document.
+ 2. Press a brightness or volume key on the keyboard.
+ What happens: The insertion point disappears for as long as the key is being pressed.
+ What should happen: The insertion point keeps blinking as normal.
+ 
+ Steps to reproduce, D:
+ 1. In Firefox, tab to a link in a page, so that its URL appears in the status bar.
+ 2. Press a brightness or volume key on the keyboard.
+ What happens: The URL momentarily disappears from the status bar.
+ What should happen: The URL stays where it is.
