Ubuntu 10.10, firefox 3.6.16+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.10.1, turn off status and toolbars are before. A window with a single tab has just the menubar and then the web page immediately below. Full screen that with F11. The web page initially fills the screen but then slightly later it's shifted down by a new light-gray rectangle five pixels high and the full screen width.
Move the mouse pointer to the top row of pixels and run it left to right, staying on that very top row. The gray rectangle alternates it presence on every mouse movement, with the page below shifting up and down as it comes and goes resulting in the web page flickering quickly between two positions. There appears to be no use to the rectangle, e.g. on mouseover it doesn't grow to give extra UI. I want the web page to be *full* screen and that doesn't seem possible. What's currently there is a very flickery useless visual artifact that surely can't be intentional. ** Changed in: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu) Status: Expired => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/246040 Title: Firefox 3's full screen mode flickers redundant hint bar at top of screen -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
