New Flash Player 11.3.300.270


Recommended Posts

Has anyone else noticed how the youtube player UI messes up when the page is scrolled? I noticed it happening a few weeks back. Is this a Flash issue or a youtube issue?

it's a firefox issue as far as i'm aware, it doesn't happen in chrome for me just firefox

i think it has to do with how firefox has its smooth scrolling set up

I'm not too sure about that as I have the same issue with computers running IE9 and IE10 at the moment.

hmm, I wonder what chome's doing differently then that it doesn't happen with the same version of flash

It does sound very strange, am I correct in believing that Chrome has a special version of flash baked in though which may be slightly modified from the core versions?

AFAIK it's not modified at all, just baked in (which you can still disable and use the version on your computer, which still the issue doesn't appear[at least it didn't for me])

I am stumped then, I just tested it on a couple of other websites with flash banners at the top of the page and the problem occurs there as well, if flash is enabled the page blurs when scrolling until you scroll up and down slightly, with flash disabled no such issue. Are you testing it on Windows or OSX though?

Its uses PPAPI rather NPAPI... plugin interface.. PPAPI which is standardized by Google (if wrong correct me).. As far as Mozilla does not have plan to implement it soon so PPAPI gives edge of Chrome Metro on Win8 having Plugin support etc.. So overall Flash in Chrome is quite different than others.

But as far as I know the PPAPI version of Flash in Chrome is older than the currently released version. The draw issues when scrolling are very common on Firefox, Internet Explorer and Opera. Very annoying too.

i'll agree with you there, it's a very annoying bug :/

How do you disable the internal Chrome Flash plugin? I'm still searching for a way to set the browser completely back to defaults. I've probably messed it up so much trying to fix these Flash issues.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
