Flash plugin resize problem

[Pau Garcia i Quiles]

Hello,

(cross-posted to Webkit-Qt and Konqueror mailing lists because this
fails on both)

I'm having trouble with QtWebKit from Qt 4.6 beta1 and Konqueror trunk
when resizing Flash plugins. On QtWebKit it somewhat works (the
"canvas" for the plugin is resized) but not quite (the plugin output
is not repainted).

You can download an example from http://www.elpauer.org/tmp/demo3.tar.gz .
Tested and works fine with Safari 4.0.3 on
Mac, Firefox 3.5.3 on Linux and Opera 10.0 on Linux. With Konqueror
trunk, it makes nspluginviewer crash. With Arora or any other QtWebKit
browser I have tested, it does not repaint the plugin output.

If you are using the webkitpart, then the nspluginviewer does not come into
the picture at all since we let the built-in QtWebKit handle flash content. The
behavior you get if you are using the KDE webkitpart should be the same as
Arora. Anyhow, any issue related to content rendering in QtWebKit should be
reported upstream to the QtWebKit team either as a bug or a question...

BTW, I did not try your demo, but I tried the ones in on the site above, and
yes indeed I see the problem you state, namely the content not being repainted
after resize, but there is nothing we can do at this level. You need to report
it upstream: http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/QtWebKitContrib

I'm not using webkitpart but khtmlpart. In the webkit-qt mailing list
I've been told it's not a WebKit or QtWebKit issue but a bug in the
Flash plugin. See https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24002
