[Bug 695644] [NEW] Unable to watch SeeSaw.com content full-screen

[Alex Cockell]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

I attempted to watch a Dr Who episode on SeeSaw.com - display was
screwed up when I selected full screen, to the extent that the "Press
Esc to exit full-screen" message scrolled left to right on a black
screen; I was able to hear sound though.  I was then unable to back out
by hitting Escape (normal return-to-windowed-display keypress).

Seesaw's own help describes this as a known issue; it recommends
disabling hardware acceleration by right-clicking on the player,
selecting "Settings" then deselcting "use hardware acceleration".  This
is greyed out on 10.04.1 running on an R61i (my display controller is, I
believe, an Intel X3100).  Consequently, this course of action is not
available to me, and I am restricted to watching within a window.

In order to recover, I had to hit CTRL-ALT-F1, switch to a text console,
log in and reboot (sudo shutdown-r now)... then watch the content in a
window.

I have not tested with iPlayer - but this could also have an impact.

Please liaise with Adobe and fix.
