BUG in QTWebkit 4.8 > Flash

[janton]

Hallo All,

I'm not sure were to report this issue, so i try to report it here first.

It seems there is a terrible bug in the last QT with Webkit.

When i scroll down a page that contains flash content, the flash moves down also..
Well it's difficult to explain so i created some screenshots.

I tried this on two different windows machines and both same result.
The issue is when you scroll down and up..! In this example i used:
www.youtube.com (youtube only has problems with a banner.. if there is banner ofcourse!)
http://www.wechoosethemoon.org/ (the starting loader and well.. then the whole site)

Am I the only one that has this issue???

No, you are not alone. I am also having rendering issues when Flash objects need to be scrolled. Either the object is not visible, or it is scrunched. If I resize the container widget, the flash object moves slowly down the screen and is almost always 'out of place' from where is should be. If container widget is sized large enough that no scrolling is needed, then the flash object(s) display correctly.

FWIW, it appears to me that QtWebkit has an issue rendering Flash objects where wmode=transparent or wmode=opaque. Using this HTML renders just fine in Safari (which uses Webkit) and IE9, but does not render properly in QT browser window that requires scrolling. Removing the wmode parameter defaults to 'window'. It renders properly, but now I have a layering issue and a non-transparent background.

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/F/1/431.swf"
width="66" height="66" id="FlashSmiley11">
<param name="movie" value="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/F/1/431.swf">
<param name="play" value="true">
<param name="loop" value="false">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">
<param name="menu" value="true">
</object>

FWIW, I removed all the params except wmode. It still had the problem with wmode=transparent.
