Keeping full-screen viewing video on other monitor when clicking onother monitor
 

Hi guys, I have a second monitor plugged into my laptop and sometimes
use it to watch youtube or tvnz on demand videos while I work on my
main screen.

But it's annoying that when I have the right monitor video screen set
to full-screen, it collapses back to mini screen as soon as I click or
type on my main monitor.

I'm using Ultramon to manage my monitors but I can't find a setting
that helps with this issue.

Has anyone found a way around this?

Thats a flash player problem. Blame adobe for all the stupid limitations
on fullscreen mode of flash.

I found a solution in 'a second computer' which works fine..
