On investigation, it looks like the problem is that 15.04 began using the "transform" CSS attribute to dynamically position the block config in the center of the screen. When you use CSS transform, you essentially reset the z-index on the transformed element, which is what causes it to show up behind the video objects.
This is no longer a problem in 15.10 because we changed the block config to display as a tab on the side of the screen instead of a centered popup. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

Not 1.10, not 15.10. I noticed it in Firefox. I haven't tried it in other browsers. The problem is that if you place a video file onto a page, and then you go to edit another block on the page, the video is displayed over the block config popup. This appears only to happen with the file types that are *not* handled by Flowplayer (.swf, .mpg, .avi) To replicate: 1. Clean install of Mahara 2. Go to /admin/extensions/pluginconfig.php?plugintype=blocktype&pluginname=file/internalmedia and activate all the media types 3. Create a page 4. On the page, place an "Embedded media" block, with an mpg file in it. 5. Above the embedded media block, place a Text block Expected result: The block config for the Text block comes up and you can see it Actual result: The mpg file from the embedded media block, displays on top of the block config To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1533456/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mahara-contributors Post to : mahara-contributors@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mahara-contributors More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
