iPlay fullscreen and more than one monitor does not work properly
Just a quick nag. Not sure if it is Adobe Flash players problem or the BBC but when I have the iPlayer on one of my screens and full screen it then click any where on my right hand screen it closes the full screen. Meaning I can't get on with other things when I have the iPlayer full screened.
Anything you can do?

Inappropriate?I checked with Adobe today and they've confirmed it's a security restriction - (sorry I don't have better news!) :
"We understand that many users would like fullscreen on one monitor and to be able to interact with your OS on another monitor. However, due to security requirements, we require that Flash and Browser must be the current focus of your OS. Apologies if this causes any workflow or usability issues. We will continue to review our security policy and consider changes in the future. For more info on fullscreen go here"

Inappropriate?If we are not able to interact with the second monitor, is it possible to black it out? This is what happens when I play a DVD full screen.
I’m unconcerned

Power button ? -
I can't use the power button to black out my second monitor because it is my laptop's built-in screen.

I would rather NOT black out the other screen - I keep my mail on there so I can see what is coming in. If it needs attention then I pause the show.

Inappropriate?Just to be clear, this is only a problem on the streaming iPlayer popout at full screen. The iPlayer Desktop for Mac is just fine - at least it is for me!!!

Inappropriate?It's just a problem with flash player really, shame it is a security requirement...
