Not sure how I’ve never noticed this, but when existing fullscreen flash video, focus isn’t returned to the original HTML page. If you notice in the screenshots (probably way too large for this purpose), prior to clicking on the fullscreen button, everything is peachy.  After exiting fullscreen (2nd screenshot), the original window has lost focus.  This isn’t “end of the world” but it leaves the user having to click twice –and gives the appearance that the app is broken.  This appears to be a Mac-only issue and I tested it on two different Mac’s and on both Firefox 3 and Safari. It worked under WinXP under both Firefox 3 and Internet Explorer.

Is this a bug in the Flash player? or just how it is on Mac?  I can’t believe I never noticed it before.  I haven’t looked for a workaround yet. I imagine I’ll need some javascript, but odd that I couldnt’ find much online about it either.

Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions?
