           Summary: Automatically start plugins created within a user
                    gesture, skipping snapshotting
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: ASSIGNED
          Keywords: InRadar
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebCore Misc.
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: cmuppala at apple.com


When plugin snapshotting is enabled, a snapshot of the plugin is displayed until the user clicks on the plugin.  However, on some sites such as cnn.com, use an image element as a placeholder for a video and replace the image with the video when the user clicks on it.  In such instances, plugin snapshotting results in the user having to click twice to watch the video.  This is undesirable.  Hence, plugins should start automatically when created within a user gesture, even if snapshotting is enabled.
