Today I was working on my hack to fix Flash fullscreen mode and I noticed that when the settings dialogue is open Flash spams hundreds of XGetGeometry() calls on the root window. I can't see a good reason why Flash needs to check the size of the root window several times per second whenever that window is open, but it probably indicates that the dialogue is doing something really nasty and that is probably related to why it doesn't work properly.

Click on the flash window. Now use the keyboard to tab through the settings dialog. Space to select. ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: Adobe flash player is configured on my system to ask before a website sets a flash cookie, so if a video (eg on youtube) is played, a dialogue box will pop up asking me whether or not to allow the website to store a cookie on my machine. However, nothing happens when I click on either 'allow' or 'deny', so the box stays put and I can't view or control the video playing beneath it. On this machine I upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10; in 11.04 there was a program for adjusting the flash player settings in the System Settings control panel, but that program is no longer there and not accessible via the dash, so there is no obvious way to just configure flash to allow all cookies and avoid the dialogue box. Workaround: using Unity 2D instead Notice : the problem has been already corrected two years before : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/410407?comments=all I'll add that it's perhaps because of Compiz : It works with Unity 2d, KDE, Gnome-Shell, Gnome-Session-With-No-Effect BUT it affects Ubuntu 3D, Gnome-Session Fallback and Caito-Dock session ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: firefox 7.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-12.19-generic 3.0.4 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-12-generic i686 AddonCompatCheckDisabled: False AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
