This happens with any Flash video. Go to youtube and start playing any video and select full screen. Then press your volume keys and note how the video jumps out of full screen. All notifications do this (new email, IM changes etc) which is very highly annoying.
Under the hood (ie at the X level) I believe what is happening is that the notify window is stealing focus from the fullscreen window. It shouldn't do this unless what it is showing is so important that my choice to have a fullscreen window with focus must be ignored and overridden. Flash being proprietary has nothing to do with this. Incidentally Windows does not have this problem. My friend who I converted to Ubuntu insisted on having a Windows partition just to watch Hulu and similar Flash video because this behaviour annoyed her so much! -- Notifications are shown during full screen flash videos https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/359760 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
