Description Nghia 2011-12-24 12:42:38 UTC 
Every time I watch a movie in fullscreen and the mouse accidently gets nudge it will popup some menus/buttons. If I'm patient I'll wait for it to disappear, else I'll hit "f" twice quickly. This is a very annoying behaviour and I'm surprised there's no option to turn it off. 

At the moment I just comment out line 302 in file totem-fullscreen.c to get the behaviour I want.

//totem_fullscreen_show_popups (fs, TRUE);

But I suspect others might be in the same boat as me. I would suggest putting an option in Preference, under Display perhaps, something like "disable popups on mouse event during fullscreen".

The current behaviour has been discussed quite a lot. You've got to move the cursor more than 30 pixels in 200ms in order to show the controls, which is quite a lot. See: bug #331241.

I guess we could increase the distance the cursor has to move. I think hiding the controls altogether in fullscreen is out of the question. Not everybody knows the keyboard shortcuts to navigate through a video without using the controls.

One possibility, however, would be to let Ctrl+H (“Show/Hide Controls”) work while in fullscreen.

Bastien, what do you think?

Ctrl + H sounds good as well! I tried searching for previous reports on this behaviour but maybe I was using the wrong keywords. Thanks for making me aware.

I'm not adding any more hacks of that kind. I'll leave that bug opened to sort out once the fullscreen popups are redesigned though.
