This bug report originated from issue QTBUG-4483 http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-4483 --- Description --- In order to have translucent top level windows on Windows, the window has to have both WA_TranslucentBackground and Qt::FramelessWindowHint set. However, if such a top level window contains a QWebView showing a web page with Flash contents, the Flash contents are not shown. The audio of the Flash contents can be heard as expected, though. The problem can be easily reproduced by loading a web page with Flash content in the example from the Transparent QWebView blog on Qt Labs: http://labs.qt.nokia.com/blogs/2009/06/30/transparent-qwebview-or-qwebpage/ The problem does not occur if only one of WA_TranslucentBackground or Qt::FramelessWindowHint is set. The problem is not reproducible on Linux.
Windows related, changing platform
P5ing until this bug gets confirmed or gets a compilable test case.
What do you need exactly to confirm the bug ? a test project ? I still have the problem with QT 4.6.2
Confirming the bug mostly means that a developer observed this problem on the WebKit trunk. A good test case for this kind of bug would be a minimal .cpp file that instantiate a QWebView, sets the proper flags for transparency and loads a website with flash (e.g. youtube) allowing to see the bug without having to understand the problem.
Created attachment 49280 [details] Qt test Project for the described bug. Here is a simple test project that show the problem. I am not in webkit dev team. But I am the one who submitted the problem fiew month ago. The project is a simple widget with a transparent webview that load an url http://www.jsuispas.net/youtube/youtube.html The loaded page contain a transparent PNG backgroudn and a embeded youtube video I am currently testing with Windows Vista 32bits (QT 4.6.2) But i guess it happen on all Windows platforms. Hope that could be fixed :) best regards.
Yes much better with a test case! I reproduce it with trunk on Windows7
