https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=16502 Summary: Define multiple monitor support and per-subdomain Product: WebAppsWG Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Fullscreen AssignedTo: annevk@opera.com ReportedBy: warcraftthreeft@sbcglobal.net QAContact: public-webapps-bugzilla@w3.org CC: mike@w3.org, public-webapps@w3.org Currently the specification doesn't explain how browsers should attempt to handle fullscreen across multiple monitors. This has led to implementations simply releasing fullscreen or hiding a toggleable feature in their configuration files to allow a webpage to preserve fullscreen. A common use case is someone watching a video on one screen while working on another screen. The expected scenario would be the user clicks on the other screen removing focus. Now since the program has lost focus a security box - in Firefox and Chrome, a yellow box - should display which asks the user if they want to allow the page to stay in fullscreen. I'd recommend putting a non-normative recommendations regarding this behavior. The pointer lock handles this cleanly in their spec with the comment: "Preferences per sub-domain can be used to allow or block pointer lock, similar to pop-up, geolocation, and fullscreen." - http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/pointerlock/raw-file/default/index.html So this would be a per subdomain preference that most browsers would be expected to implement for convenience. Currently for a normal user having to go into the configuration to change a fullscreen preference just for watching a video in another window is foreign to them. This change would greatly simplify this for the common user without introducing any security problems. -- Configure bugmail: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
