Swfdec - Jan 2009 - [Bug 19488] New: Cannot scroll webpage with arrow keys if mouse is in the flash

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19488

           Summary: Cannot scroll webpage with arrow keys if mouse is in the
                    flash
           Product: swfdec
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: plugin
        AssignedTo: swfdec at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: jon.dufresne at gmail.com
         QAContact: swfdec at lists.freedesktop.org


This is using swfdec 0.8.4 and epiphany 2.24.1 with gecko-1.9 all from Fedora
10 repositories. This bug correlates with flash objects so I believe it is a
bug with swfdec as opposed to the other modules. If you believe this is either
an epiphany or gecko bug I would be happy to file this bug in the correct
place.

I can not scroll a web page vertically using the arrow keys when the mouse
pointer is inside a flash object.

Steps to repeat:
* Go to a youtube video page.
* Click anywhere in the web page beside the flash object and scroll vertically
with arrow keys to make sure the web page has focus.
* Place mouse pointer inside the flash and rest the mouse.
* Try to scroll the web page vertically with the arrow keys, notice that you
can not.

This is definitely partially Swfdec's fault. But I think it's a Mozilla
problem, too. At least the last time I asked about it, I was told that Mozilla
doesn't handle events that plugins don't handle, so I never bothered
implementing it.

I wonder if it works with Adobe's plugin (even on Windows).

Is it be possible to forward the unhandled events to Mozilla?

Yeah, you can return FALSE if you didn't handle an event.
The current code (both inside Swfdec and Swfdec-mozilla) doesn't do that
yet,
but in theory, it could, if Adobe's player does the same thing.

If you give me a little hint as to where to look at this, I'd be interested
in
trying to write a patch. This bug affects me quite a bit due to the layout of
some websites.
