"READ COMMENT 403 BEFORE COMMENTING" -- I did, but this needs to be said.
THIS IS A CRITICAL FLAW! GOING TO 'FULL SCREEN' ON A WINDOWS MACHINE CAN CAUSE YOU TO LOSE CONTROL OF YOUR COMPUTER UNLESS YOU KNOW WINDOWS KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS! The reality is that the majority of Windows users don't know even basic keyboard shortcuts -- they rely completely on their mouse. _IF_ they have selected to auto-hide their toolbar AND they select 'Full Screen' from the menu, there is NO WAY for them to recover control of their machine unless they know to: 1. press the 'Windows' key or Ctrl-ESC to bring up the Start menu 2. right-click on the correct taskbar button 3. select 'Close' I KNOW that this can happen as I've had panicked calls from friends reporting this situation and asking me what to do. They know that they need to press F11 to get out of full screen mode, but it doesn't work. So PLEASE (please, please, please,...) implement SOMETHING -- a fix, a hack, a kludge, whatever -- to allow F11 to work and THEN concentrate on doing this properly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263435 Title: Firefox cannot close tab (using Ctrl-w) when flash content is selected on page -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
