one can always move the mouse pointer to top of screen to get back their menu bar. Is that a Mac thing?
Yes, this is how fullscreen applications regularly work on OS X.
Mousing around in a fullscreen flash app on Linux or Windows 7 certainly doesn't pop up a menu bar when I hit the top. And the way out is always to hit ESC [although there's often a button as well, depending on the application], so I'm not sure what the problem with fullscreen mouse lock would be.
I do not have recent knowledge of Linux, but my understanding is that Windows UI is undergoing a major redesign with Metro, so basing APIs largely on how Windows used to work up to version 7 may not be future proof. - WBR, Alexey Proskuryakov
