781167 - A gray screen is displayed if a non-playing html5 video is switched to full screen

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Toolbar, defect)

Description

[Cristian Nicolae (:xti)]

Firefox 17.a1 (2012-08-08)
Device: Galaxy Nexus
OS: Android 4.1.1

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Fennec
2. Go to http://www.w3schools.com/html5/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_video_all (http://goo.gl/JASX2)
3. Long tap on the video from the right frame
4. Select Full Screen option

Expected result:
The video is switched to full screen mode after step 4. The video controls are displayed just after the full screen mode was activated since the video was not playing at step 3.

Actual result:
After step 4, a white or gray screen is displayed and also there is no way to trigger the video controls. The only available option is to quit full screen by tapping the device Back button.
I would mention that after tapping the Back button, the video is no longer displayed on the right frame, until the page will be reloaded. Is this issue related to this bug or it's a different one?

It's probably a different issue, best to file a new bug for it.

I'm able to repro the gray screen issue here.

This WFM now; when you go into full-screen on the video there is a play button at the bottom and tapping on it (or anywhere else on the screen) starts playing the video. Tested on a Galaxy Nexus with latest nightly (FF 20, 2012-11-23).
