Fullscreen Bug

Hi
There is a big bug with fullscreen Aps
When, for example, the Mail Application runs in Fullscreen Mode and I open Firefox (for example) on the main desktop and switch to the fullscreen app while firefox is loading, Firefox will be opened on the same desktop as the fullscreen app.
Another Bug is: When in Fullscreen Mode some dialog boxes (like Search Text) will open on the main desktop
Any solutions or bugfixes yet?

well, the dock does not give me any usefull possibilities... the only solution is to close the app and reopen it.
5 minutes ago, a message from an installer told me to close 2 application to continue the current installation (xcode).
first i thought, the installer stopped because it did not do anything else than showing a status bar... then i looked on the fullscreen mail desktop and there was the information box

[Mac, Win] Fullscreen Bug?

Hello!
Sorry for the lenghty post but maybe someone can confirm the problems I am seeing:
There seems to be a bug in both Windows and Mac versions of Photoshop CS6. The problem manifests itself MUCH clearer on a Windows machine, but is present to some degree on a Mac, too. The last version without it seems to be CS3 (OpenSth problem?).
Steps to reproduce: Any image open, full screen mode, all pannels UNDOCKED:
Correct behoviour: The image should not move while pressing Tab (ideally it shouldn't even redraw).
On Windows:
With every press of a Tab key to show/hide the panels the image jumps up several pixels (sometimes also towards the center of the screen if the image is smaller than the screen area). Also (and MUCH more annoyingly) when the image is moved off center and is at certain magnification (the most reproducible seems to be 33%) after pressing Tab it jumps ALL THE WAY to the center of the screen.
On Mac:
Similar things happen, but more rarely, and the image jumps by only ~1 pixel. (Easier to observe if you first zoom the image smoothly a bit by dragging with a zoom tool).
Also as it currently is (after CS3?) pressing F produces the same outcome as pressing Shift+F - there is no way of just showing the menu in Fullscreen mode and then quickly hiding it after use - one have to go through the whole screen mode cycle. Also on Windows there is no way to access the menu when hidden with Alt + Letter speedkey (Alt + F for file menu etc.). Both these functions worked perfectly well in CS3.
Both machines have latest Photoshop, OS updates and drivers (but old graphics cards: Win - Nvidia 9800GT, Mac Nvidia 880GT). I suspect these changes for the worse has been introduced while switching to OpenGL. Hopefully it is not necessary for it to be that way or maybe even it works as expected on newer graphics hardware - anyone care to check?
Last time similar problems occured was, if I remember correctly, in Photoshop 7 when Status Bar has been moved into an image window :-)
I know it may sound as if it's not important, but it certainly is annoying. It has nothing to do with not embracing change - I do find OpenWhatever to be a huge leap for Photoshop - even if I have to put up with a slower image redraw most of the time...
So, I hope, my rumblings aren't comparable to:

Thank you.
Unfortunately, I don't have Navigator open (opening it doesn't make any difference). The image jumps in fullscreen mode without the menu, because when I press Tab, the menu shows anyway and the image (incorrectly) moves down to accommodate it and then up again, after another Tab press.
The wholly unreasonable behaviour of image being centred with Tab pressing has no such explanation and is not happening on a Mac at all.
Your suggestion to use Shift F and then F works, but since Tab shows the menu anyway - it kind of doubles that functionality.
I just think that the old behaviour of being able to show just the menu, separately from the panels or access it with Alt + Letter keys was more convenient than current behaviour. The image always stayed exactly where it was - no need to redraw. And it NEVER jumped whole way to the center - which makes dealing with image corners extremely difficult.
I can understand that some of that may be the a requirement of using OpenGL on Windows, but I kind of doubt it.

[Solved] Chromium Fullscreen bug

Hi everybody!
Please help me to resolve chromium bug.
After going to fullscreen by pressing F11 everything OK.
But after returning to windowed screen by pressing F11 again chromium disappears from the screen and becomes unaccessable.
But it still remains running in the list of precesses and its icon seen under Alt-Tab switching.
This bug exist even in empty window with no URL connected.
Linux 3.15.8-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT x86_64 GNU/Linux
Window manager: openbox 3.5.2-6 (lxde) [installed]
Also idesk program for icons running.

Sam_DM, thank you for help, but it doesn't work.
This bug takes place on 3 PC that I use, 2 of them with Intel video and the rest with Nvidia card.
On one of Intel PC you suggestion leads to different behavior of chromium. After disappearing it becomes possible to return browser to a visible state by another pressing F11. Ironically, even if you method worked it was useless for me, because I use chromium only for one online game which supports hardware acceleration under linux only in chromium. But my main browser is firefox.
Also I examined chromium on the same computers under ubuntu live distribution and it worked fine.
Therefore I conclude that something wrong in chromium package for archlinux or maybe more installed supported programs needed.
I shall try to report a bug to chromium officials but don't have experience in that.

Fullscreen bug in AIR 2.5

We built a flash application which was packed with AIR v1.0(current
version at that time), which by default opens in full screen mode
we had added a button within the application which uses the following
code to minimise the application
This code minimises the application till AIR runtime v2.03. Once the
runtime is upgraded to V2.5 the application stops to go fullscreen in
the below scenario
After upgradation if the user clicks minimise button, and then tries
to restore the application by clicking the application tab in the
taskbar, the application fails to go fullscreen
It remains as a borderless window with a partial portion of the
application displayed
Thereafter the user has to force quit the application and relaunch
This application series is our largest seller, and we are deeply
concerned of the Windows and Macintosh versions
We would really appreciate a quick response
Sanjay
Code
/* To minimize the window- on click the minimize method is called*/
windowChanger.minimise.
addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,minimize);
private function minimize(event:MouseEvent):void
            myWindow.minimize();
            trace("minimize the window");
/* To maximize the window- onActiviate method is called*/
this.addEventListener(Event.ACTIVATE, onActivate);
public function onActivate(evt:Event) {
            stageDetails();
public function stageDetails():void {
            stage.scaleMode=StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
            stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
            stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;

For those following along, Sanjay and I have taken the discussion offline and he provided me with a couple of sample projects. I've been able to reproduce the issue on AIR 2.5 and it has now been entered as a bug in our internal database, #2751098.
I've also proposed a workaround that appears to work on both Mac and Win. Instead of
this.addEventListener(Event.ACTIVATE, onActivate);
public function onActivate(evt:Event):void
     stageDetails();
I've suggested using
stage.nativeWindow.addEventListener(NativeWindowDisplayStateEvent.DISPLAY_STATE_CHANGE, onDisplayStateChange);
public function onDisplayStateChange(evt:NativeWindowDisplayStateEvent):void
     if (evt.afterDisplayState == NativeWindowDisplayState.NORMAL)
     stageDetails();
I hope this helps anyone else that might encounter this issue.
Thanks,
Chris

Fullscreen bugs in Air 2 apps under client Air 2.5 runtime?

We produce video distribution apps handling DRM in Air 2.0
We've encountered quite a serious bug in our Air applications' handling of Flash when going fullscreen.
Under Air 2.0, our apps were fully functional. No issues.
After the upgrade to Air 2.5, all PC installs no onger display video content in full screen when prompted to do so.
We have noticed the same error occurs in AMP 1.8 and are yet to find an example of an Air application that does not experience this issue.
As the bug is isolated to PC (not present on Mac at all), is it related to either:
a) Flash handling of the Output protection enacted with this update or
b) h264 hardware decoding
We have over 30K apps deployed and seek information regarding a resolution for this asap.
We have drafted a workaround, but it is not an ideal situation.
Is Air 2.5 being updated again (within 48hrs)?

Hello,
I'm sorry you've run into this fullscreen playback bug. We found this issue with AMP after the release of 2.5 (internal bug #2732895) and it will be fixed in our next release. Adobe announced yesterday that an update to Flash Player would occur on or before November 9th. Typically AIR and FP releases occur in tandem.
In our testing, we were only able to reproduce the issue with Adobe's Media Player, attempts to reproduce using AOL, BBC iPlayer, or MovieFone were unsuccessful. Could you point me to another example where this bug occurs? I'd like to verify it's fixed on more than one application.
I'm going to follow up with you via the forums private message system, you can also email me at [email protected]
Thanks,
Chris

Fullscreen bug with specific button on Mavericks rMBP 2013

Hi Everyone,
Encountered a weird bug on my GF's new rMBP with facetime. The camera will turn itself off during face time if she fullscreens the app using the fade in fullscreen button on the top right corner of the app. Sometimes the green light will stay off the whole time it is fullscreened, sometimes it will stay off for a second, then turn back on and the other end of the conversation may or may not see the pause icon. This doesn't happen when she uses the menu or the persistant bottom right hand corner fullscreen button.
I don't know why it is only that particular button, but it happens. Not a major issue, but just a weird annoyance and wonder if anyone else has seen this problem or if this is a know bug that will be addressed in the future. I've tried to clear out the keychain, thinking it was that, but no go.
Regards,
Mike

Lightroom 5.3 Fullscreen bug

Hi!
After I updated my LR to version 5.3 I immediately noticed that the shortcut Shift + F doesn't work anymore. And I can't switch to fullscreen at all. Is there anyone else having the same problem?

I'm also on 5.3, and have no problem with Shift F (or F for that matter). I'm on Win 7. What is your operating system?

Safari weird fullscreen bug

I've got a window in fullscreen mode in Safari that's causing all kinds of weirdness.
With no other windows open, whenever I use the App Switcher to go from another app to Safari, the window shows briefly, then the OS switches to System Preferences with the Desktop & Screensaver pane on display. (??)
Same behavior when I select that window from Safari's Window menu. This behavior persists even when I quit and relaunch Safari.
The problematic window doesn't stay onscreen long enough for me to click the widget to exit fullscreen mode and close the window. Anybody know *** is going on?

Youtube Fullscreen Bug

Whenever I'm watching fullscreen video on Youtube everything except the video is invisible. Whenever I tap on the screen the bars at the bottom and the top never appear. The elements still work when I click on them, but they don't show up. I can confirm it's a problem with the browser because it works just fine on my stock browser, but strangely I've also had no problems with this on my Nexus 7. Is there anything I can change in the settings (about:config) to fix this? I'm running Firefox on my Samsung Galaxy S2 (SCH-I415) with Jelly Bean 4.1.2

can you try to update Firefox and see if it works, the current version is 22 (yours is 20)

Yeosmite Finder in fullscreen bug, tabs obstruct files

When i launch finder in full screen and open multiple tabs everything is ok.
Then using while in the list view, if i drag a file to a separate folder, the file lists move up, when i complete the drag and drop, finder's file list remains stuck with the tabs obstructing the first few files on every list.
I have to go out of fullscreen to fix the problem, can this be stopped?

Works for me. It fills out the columns and rows as expected.
To add CSV or OFX data to a table that contains data, drag the CSV or OFX file onto the table.
Basically the same as dragging to an empty table. Works for me.
The only things that don't work, and no one said it would, are
1) If you copy the text from a CSV then paste it into a table it does not expand into columns and rows, just rows.
2) If your "CSV" file has a TXT extension. It is therefore not technically a CSV file, it is a text file, and is treated differently.
I think there may be a problem with international settings related to commas versus semicolons but that shouldn't be a problem in Georgia unless that is the country of and not the state of.
A TXT file with tabs can be dragged into a table and it will expand into columns and rows. It creates a text box if dragged onto the canvas.

MAC projector won't go fullscreen

has anyone found an effective work around for the fullscreen
bug w/ MAC flash 8 projectors?
i'm using the fscommand("fullscreen", "true"); and it still
won't work - the title bar at the top remains.
i have read many threads on this topic and tried several of
the possible solutions and still nothing works. there are several
threads on this topic... is adobe working on this for a possible
future update?
i really don't want to have to backwards convert all my files
to professional 2004 just to do MAC projectors!!!
i have a single frame file w/ all the interactivity/animation
based on actionscripting. g5, flash 8
please advise
thanks
jason

i'm using 10.4.7, dual 2.5g, 3g ram - flash 8 professional
i just found a work around using a combo of threads. i got it
working on a new empty file and on my current working file.
make a 3 frame movie.
don't put anything in the first two frames except this
actionscripting:
in frame 1, put fscommand("fullscreen", "true");
in frame 2, put fscommand("fullscreen", "false");
in frame 3, put fscommand("fullscreen", "true");
and then continue on w/ the rest of your actionscripting in
this frame and on...
placing the three toggling fscommands all in the same frame
did not seem to provide enough time for flash to react.
i realize this is ugly w/ the flashing notfull/fullscreen. i
hate writing code and building files like this... but it does work.
the flashing doesn't really show up on a PC either, which is nice.

Proper way to scale assets for multiple devices

I am working on an ActionScript Mobile app which I intend to build for iphone 3gs, iPhone 4 and iPad 1&2.
What is the correct way to scale assets such as background images so that I may be able to use the same graphical assets for all of the mobile devices above?
Using AIR 2.7 and in my app descriptor file I have specified "cpu" for renderMode and "true" for fullScreen. From what I have read, the fullscreen bug in AIR 2.7 is only present when using gpu as the rendermode w/ fullscreen, so I don't think that is what is going on.
I have a background image which is supposed to fill up the entire screen for all devices. This image is in a swc file and has these dimensions: 960 x 640
In my main class I have included the following:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
When I test on iPhone 4, it looks fine and fills up the entire screen as expected. When I test on iPad 1, the image is not wide enough and is a bit too short. Shouldn't the following code force the background image to fill the entire screen regardless of device?
backgroundImage.width = stage.stageWidth;
backgroundImage.height = stage.stageHeight;
Instead, it makes the backgound really small in the upper left hand corner for all devices. Can someone shed some light here? I am stumped.
Hopefully I am doing someone stupid and it is an easy fix..Thanks!

Here is what I have been doing. Do what you did by scaling the stage to the top left and fill the entire screen.
Now set up an onEnterFrame event to give your background image dimensions. Since you want one image to work for all the devices it has to be an image that works even if part of it is not showing so design with that in mind.
So lets say your image is iPad screen size 768 wide x 1024 tall. I pad is a 3/4 screen ration so 3 wide by 4 tall in proportion.
Set up a variable that measures the screen ratio, so something like
var frameRatio = stage.stageWidth / stage.stageHeight;
this will return a result of 0.75 or 3/4
Now since you know this you can set up an if else statemenet (excuse my sloppy code, do not copy paste)
if (frameRatio >= 0.75)
backgroundImage.height = stage.stageHeight;
backgroundImage.scaleX = backgroundImage.scaleY <------ this will scale the image proportionally to match the height.
else if (frameRatio < 0.75)
backgroundImage.wdith = stage.stageWidth; <------ notice if its less than .75 we now make the image first fill the stage to the stage's width
backgroundImage.scaleY = backgroundImage.scaleX <---- notice these are flipped so now we proportionally scale the height based on the width
This works well for me even with orientation changes. Its easiest to set you background image point of refrence to the center and then orient it by simply dividing the stageWidth and stageHeight by 2 for the x and the y values respectively.
Let me know if that helped at all I can post an actual line of code if need be.

Air 2.7 and MacOs Lion: iPhone packager does not work

hi. After upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion the iPhone packager does not work. It throws an error concerning the Application Version Number. Is this a Know bug? Is there a work- around? Thanks. Michael.

Yeah sorry, the start of my descriptor looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.7">
<id></id>
<versionNumber></versionNumber>
<filename>d</filename>
<description/>
<name></name>
When I go to compile the app the compiler inserts that line into my descriptor at the very bottom (just before the application tag closes). It's weird, I tried setting the <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.7"> back to 2.6 and it works and seems to compile in 2.7 (as I noticed the timer bug).
Anyway, I only tried 2.7 because I heard the GPU fullscreen bug had been fixed, but given that the timer issue still remains I'll go back to 2.6 for the time being.
Thanks

StageScaleMode.EXACT_FIT not supported in air 2.7 for ios?

stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.EXACT_FIT;
Does not work correctly air 2.7 for ios. It is all messed up.
This is what my program looks like in air 2.6 for ios:

This is what it looks like when compiled with air 2.7:

Is there anything I can do to fix this?
-Scott

I think you are hitting the GPU fullscreen bug in AIR 2.7(http://forums.adobe.com/message/3747867). It suspect it is not related to the scale mode that you are setting. To confirm, you could set the renderMode to cpu in your application xml. You should not be able to reproduce the bug.

[Solved]What WM would be best for a dedicated console emulator box?

Hey all
So, using a recycled, slightly old small-form-factor computer, I am making a dedicated emulation box. It will run game console emulators for every game system I can think of. But anyways, that is what I intend to use this box for, and only that. I have been setting it up from an Arch Linux base install, aiming to consume the least resources I can (because it is an older box, and I want the best performance with my emulators). I need a recommendation on a Window manager that therefore:
-Does not have ANY sort of taskbars/titlebars/other stuff in the way.
-Consumes the least resources possible
Now, the current winner is just a default X11 shell that is seen when xinit is run. However, the shell does not cover the whole screen. I want the screen to be all one colour. Because I want the look of using this box with my friends to make it look put together.
Any recommendations?
Scott

I dunno about dwm, it has some bugs with fullscreen apps - funnily enough emulators seem to give it trouble, ScummVM will not run fullscreen on my install for instance.
I'd vote for Openbox, it has no taskbar or anything by default, windows will be initially themed but you can disable window borders and even the right click menu if you wish.
I was thinking openbox at first, because I use it on my main computer and know it pretty well. Thanks.
I was considering dwm, but thanks for the advisory about the fullscreen bugs.
I'll give evilwm a shot too. And give making the x11 shell bigger a shot too.
Thanks for the recommendations, but I have another quick question:
Is there any way to automatically login to the root account on the TTY without the use of X? This machine, once setup, will be only in my house and not connected to the internet, so the dangers of running as root are virtually 0. I want this because, on boot, I will just have to press power, and then without doing anything (aided by a bit of bash) I will be taken to a menu of sorts to select what console and game I want to play.
