Bug Description

The Adobe Flash plugin does not support the "wmode" option used by many websites.

As a result, all Flash is drawn on top of other content, often obscuring major parts of web pages and making it unusable.

*There is unfortunately nothing we can do.* If you want this fixed, vote for the bug on Adobe's bug tracker.

http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-80

Test case:

http://www.ishares.com/home.jhtml

Try to operate the menus at left or top. The boxes are obscured by the Flash content.

For more information on this mechanism, read http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15523

Braden: I would like to open this bug up to a more focused issue and thus change

beppe: I think "Windowless plug-in support for X" pretty accurately describes
the problem here. The problem is by no means unique to Flash. It sounds to me
that if we did what you describe, this would be a duplicated of bug 44322. This
bug exists because bug 44322 was resolved without addressing this issue for X.
If it is preferred that a single bug be used to track this issue on all
platforms--and especially if there exist problems with windowless plug-ins on
Windows and/or Mac that would be motivation for broadening the scope of this
bug--I suggest that it is appropriate to reopen bug 44322 and mark this one as a
duplicate of it.

I think bug 44322 should stay closed, it was about reproducing the NS 4.x
functionality. The title of this bug seems to describe pretty well what this bug
is about.

Has anyone verified that windowless plugins don't work under X, I'm sure they
don't work, but a test case would be useful. I'd probably have a look at this if
I didn't have to go to the effort of learning how to implement the plugin side
of a windowless plugin under X. I wouldn't expect a fix to be too difficult,
there is a lot of #ifdef'd code in the windowless code that passes windows
specific messages - I would guess that we just need to work out what the
appropriate action would be for X in each of these cases.

there is no windowless plug-in support on X, and never been, even in 4.x world,

anyway I wouldn't change anything in this bug, it is valid generic X bug,

the browser window image would be preferable though I imagine one of these

I was looking at implementing this in a similar way to windows. So, that an

If the drawable is an off screen XImage it will work. If the drawable is a
window the flicker will be unacceptable because there will be a long period
while the browser background is on screen. I'm told Windowless mode isn't
supported on Mac Classic for this same reason, flicker.

There are also needs to be a protocol on who ultimately puts the off screen
image on screen. I'm assuming it will be the plugin but I'm not sure what the
pro's and con's are.

The drawable will be an offscreen image, which will only be valid for use for

Rough patch for implementing windowless support on Unix

The patch does not work in its current state, I have attached it so I don't
lose what I've done. It is also not very polished, e.g. I am sure there is a
better way of doing the GTK specific stuff without #ifdefing it everywhere. The
aim at the moment is to get it working and worry about tidying it up later!

On the plugin side I have implemented HandleEvent as follows:
uint16 nsPluginInstance::HandleEvent(void* aEvent)
{
  NPEvent * event = (NPEvent *)aEvent;
  switch (event->type) {
    case GraphicsExpose:
    {
 XGraphicsExposeEvent* exevent = (XGraphicsExposeEvent*)event;

 //GC gc = XCreateGC(exevent->display, exevent->drawable, 0, NULL);
 //mWindow is stored from the call to SetWindow
 if(!mWindow)
    return 1;
 GC gc = (GC)(mWindow->window);
 if (!gc)
    return 1;
 XDrawRectangle(exevent->display, exevent->drawable, gc, x, y, w, h);

However it crashes inside the call to XDrawRectangle, which I guess means that
there is something wrong with the drawable. I'm not really an expert on Xlib so
if anyone has any suggestions I'll be grateful.

I wish I'd known about this bug!

There is a fairly easy way to do this. When we call Paint() on the plugin frame,
it should synthesize an event and pass it to the plugin, along with a drawable
obtained from the nsIRenderingContext parameter. This drawable will be an
*offscreen* pixmap (because the view manager paints frames onto an offscreen
area for double-buffering purposes).

One of the things I am unsure of is how I am obtaining the drawable:

nsObjectFrame.cpp
 exposeEvent.drawable = (Drawable)win->GetNativeData(NS_NATIVE_WIDGET);

So maybe others who have worked on this patch or know layout internals better
can collaborate.

I'll post a revised test case next.

You want NS_NATIVE_WINDOW so that this can work in GTK1.

Other than that, this looks pretty good on the painting side. But the event
handling is missing. You need something like this:

http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/layout/generic/nsObjectFrame.cpp#3883

Fix that and I think we're close to having something we can check in ... need

a field "window" in the "NPWindow" Structure, such as In Windows Platform, just explained as a hdc.
can we add a variable in the class "ns4xPluginInstance" to hold the Drawable.
if it is windowless. then we can retrieve it. if it is windowed ,we just omit it.

I can confirm that the new nspluginwrapper 1.1.0 development version works a lot better than the old 0.9.x/1.0.0. WMODE is indeed fixed, I can see the menus at adobe.com for example. And at least for me, Flash 10 is a whole lot better in terms of performance -- especially with activated hardware acceleration.

With Intrepid shipping Flash 10, I think the new nspluginwrapper is a must!

I guess it will come in due course. It's in multiverse so it's not subject
to the version stability requirements that packages in main are.

Starting the the AMD plugin it is not stable and I'm kind of sceptical
about adding it to any release including Jaunty without a stable release
ETA from Adobe.
We do not recommend using adobes version. Are you able to reproduce this
with our version of flash 10?

Check in Firefox which plugin it uses. Should be "Shockwave Flash 10.0 r15".
If it is possible you have another else plugin installed.

Works for me as well. I previously had issues, but that was due to the
"fixes" that I had in for the earlier releases of the Flash player
plugin. However, after I edited the mms.cfg in /etc/adobe it works fine.
I am running 10.0 r15 as well in Ubuntu 8.04 with FF 3.06.

Just out of curiousity, are you running NoScript as a FF Plugin and
AdBlock Plus? If so, please check the settings to ensure that you are
allowing the site.

This was a bad idea. by installiog the upstream package as oppsed to
ours its hard to test ours if we add a updated package. If upstream
package has same issue its most likely upstreams fault. Please try to
locate their bug tracker and report it ther as well.

I'm still encountering this problem on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic, Firefox 3.5 (3.5.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.10.1), Shockwave Flash 10.0 r42.

Do I need to install anything extra?

Thanks

@umang

This was fixed in Firefox 3. If you feel you are experiencing a regression, please file a new bug (ubuntu-bug firefox-3.5) and mention this bug #.

Thanks.

Umang, are you using 64 bit? By default, Ubuntu uses 32 bit flash player with nspluginwrapper. Try the 64 bit flash player from here: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/64bit.html

No, I have an "P III", so I am using 32 bit Ubuntu (and 32 bit flash also).

Yes. I won't be able to test this issue soon and seemed to be the only one affected at that point (I had asked a few people with similar configurations whether they had any problem). I'd assume it's fixed if nobody is affected.

Changed in firefox:
importance: Unknown → Medium

There is also an updated official Adobe version of the 64bit Flash player here, as of earlier this week : http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/
Please also note that Adobe hasn't recommended the use of nspluginwrapper for some time...
