spacebar pauses totem in fullscreen mode, but does not in windowed mode. for consistancy purposes, spacebar should really perform the same in both modes. mike
Hi, I forwarded your bug report to the upstream author, who marked it NOTABUG with the following explanation: "This has been explained numerous times. The space bar is used to activate widgets, so for accessibility reasons, we can't do that in windowed mode." http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=370732 Thus I will mark it as wontfix.
The reason I brought this issue up is because users get confused by things that are inconsistent. The solution is not that spacebar has to pause in both windowed and fullscreen, but instead should not do anything in both situations. Besides, the menus all say that P is how the user should play/pause their movie.
I see, but I still think it would be best if you discussed this issue with the upstream developer.
does it make sense for this bug to be marked both wontfix and fixed-upstream? aren't those tags sort of contradictory? which one is right? i got the impression that the upstream decision was wontfix. mike
tags 382106 - fixed-upstream stop The fixed-upstream tag was added by bts-link; I told the author that I would prefer only setting "wontfix" when the upstream resolution is REJECTED, NOTABUG, or WONTFIX, but he thinks fixed-upstream is the only sane thing to do in the tool. But yeah, removing the fixed-upstream tags makes more sense, and bts-link wont set it again.
