Adobe runs in-process. It seems that it has some unsophisticated logic for deciding when to capture scroll events.

See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619281 for details on the Gnash situation.

It is worth noting that when we change the plugin to be in-process (which is planned), the strategy mentioned in the mozilla bug tracker will be trivial to implement.

Yes, the same issue affects Adobe and other plugins, and it has been widely reported.

This was reported to Mozilla bugtrack? if not, we need to report there and tell them the reasons.

Thanks Bastian

This is a mozilla bug, and fixing it from their end is straight forward. Mozilla forwards scroll events and does not care whether the plugin uses them.

We could hack around it by sending a scroll event to to the socket window that contains Gnash, but that will probably cause more problems than it would solve.

This comment it's interesting too:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/50839/comments/44


It say something about wm opaque or transparent, and the transference of scroll to html, probably this is related with bug https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?23091

probably related to function

line 541
nsPluginInstance::SetWindow(NPWindow* aWindow)


in plugin.cpp

This even happen when gnash is told to load in stopped mode.
Would be great if it would pass on the scroll events at least in stopped mode.

gnash doesn't allow to move the webpage if we have the mouse over the flash, i mean to the scroll... lightspark and adobe allows to do it.

any flash application, probably this is related with bug https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?31835
