           Summary: When using multiple monitors, Flash only appears on
                    one of them
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh Intel
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.6
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Plug-ins
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: dipnlik at gmail.com


Description:
When using multiple monitors, Flash only appears on one of them.  If you drag the window from one monitor to another, while one monitor shows everything as expected, the other one usually shows a white rectangle.  Tested on streaming sites like YouTube, Vimeo, TED, or trying to play an MP3 attached to an email on gmail; with "static flash" like TED's homepage; and with ads and games like the ones at Newgrounds.

Steps to reproduce:
- Open a website, like ted.com, and wait for it to load completely.
- Drag the WebKit window from one monitor to another.

Expected results:
Flash content should be visible regardless of which monitor the WebKit window is on.

Actual results:
Flash content is visible only on one of the monitors.  Audio streaming still works.

Notes:
I won't take a guess about which monitor gets the "priority" to play flash content.  Maybe it is a Flash issue, but the bug does not happen with Firefox 3.6.9.  Don't know if it works with on Chrome and I don't want to install it here because it installs other stuff that is annoying to remove, but there's a thread[1] on Apple's forums where a user says it works fine.
