Summary Flash pauses if you switch to a new tab or minimize window

http://www.pandora.com is a great free streaming music site. Unfortunately, if you switch to a new tab or minimize the window to the dock, it will not move on to the next song unless you bring the Safari window to the front. Works with no problems in Firefox and Camino on OS X. From the Pandora FAQ: http://blog.pandora.com/faq/ Q: Why does Pandora stop playing when I minimize to the Dock (OS X)? Unfortunately, that is a known issue with Safari. Flash applications like Pandora are halted by Safari when the browser is not in use. All you can do for now is avoid minimizing to the dock when listening with that browser. However, If you're willing to use alternate OS X browsers for Pandora, like Firefox or Camino, they work fine with Pandora, even while its in the dock.

I do not know if this is intentional or not, but I also perceive this as a problem (encountered it with YouTube).

However, i was able to test Last.fm and it worked fine for me. I tested with last WebKit 38619 version on 2 systems: MacBook, Tiger 10.4.9, Flash 9,0,124 MacBookPro, Leopard 10.5.5, Flash 10,0,26 Can you try again? Mihnea

Mass closing plug-in bugs, as plug-in support has been removed from WebKit. Please comment and/or reopen if this still affects WebKit in some way.
