Can't view youtube video full screen!
If I click the full screen button on youtube, the video pops up to a new tiling window, but if I press Alt+Space to change the layout so that the video window becomes full screen, the window closes instead. -- Sincerely, Yuliang Wang

same here. I use the full screen layout with my web browser, and when I select full screen in the youtube player the full screen window obviously just pops up for an instance and disappears directly. This is an ArchLinux install with 2.6.32 kernel (32 Bit), xmonad and xmonad-contrib are 0.9-1.2, firefox is 3.5.6-1 and the flashplugin is 10.0.42.34-1. Regards Christian Walther
I've had no trouble with fullscreen flash ever since I added
(isFullscreen --> doFullFloat) to my manage hook.

Thanks for the report. I don't have any ideas off the top of my head, but please file a bug at http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/list with as much detail as possible so this doesn't get lost. -Brent
Thanks for reminding me to fix fullscreen Flash on my laptop real quick! The same solution mentioned elsewhere in this thrad (isFullscreen --> doFullFloat) has given me normal Flash fullscreening on two other machines (and now on a third). isFullscreen and doFullFloat are from the XMonad.Hooks.ManageHelpers. Here's more details on the functions and associated import, along with a simple example: http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/XMonad-Hooks-ManageHelpers.html In the example, you can obviously ignore the KDE something and the 'stalonetray' and transcience of the example. You do not necessarily need to use ComposeOne either (isFullscreen and doFullFloat work with ComposeAll just fine). 'transience' is also not necessary to solve the Flash problem. If this doesn't fix it, post back here for more help and/or file a bug report. The last two bug reports on this have been closed though (one was a duplicate, and the other was decided as a non-issue since it was fixable through this method). [Bugs #226, #261]. Another related bug report (#313) indicates that these functions (isFullscreen and doFullFloat) should be in Core come version 1.0 rather than requiring an import. Either way, hopefully adding (isFullscreen --> doFullFloat) to ManageHook (after the associated import) can fix the problem of the two people that have posted issues with fullscreen Flash and the like.

Hi, I still need to report back with a success story. :-) By changing the ManageHook in my XMonad configuration to composeOne and using isFullscreen -?> doFullFloat I was able to fix the fullscreen issue, just as it has been pointed out in this thread. Thank you all for your help! Regards Christian Walther
