Title: Firefox cannot close tab (using Ctrl-w) when flash content is selected on page Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Confirmed Status in “firefox-3.0” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “flashplugin-nonfree” package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree Firefox cannot close tab (using Ctrl-w) or switch to next tab (using Ctrl-Tab) when flash content is selected on page. Steps to reproduce: 1) Open a new Tab 2) Go to a website with flash content (in this case youtube.com) 3) Selected the flash content by clicking on it (in this case click on play) 4) While the content plays, press a keyboard shortcut (in this case Ctrl-w to close the tab) Result: The shortcut is not registered by firefox, the tab remains open Expectation: The shortcut should be registered by firefox, the tab should close A good way of knowing that "selecting the flash content" is at the root of the problem: if you select a part of the page that is not flash content (in this case empty white space at the right or the left of the video) followed by Ctrl-W, the tab closes. Version Information: Ubuntu Hardy (2.6.24-19-generic) firefox 3.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.3 flashplugin-nonfree 9.0.124.0ubuntu2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/263435/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
