Strange Fullscreen Flash Bug

When I fullscreen any flash video [of those that I tried, including youtube.com and not-youtube], there is a good chance the screen will not play the video. If I toggle fullscreen off and on a few times (the in-player frozen controls respond to clicks!) the video plays normally. Any ideas why this is happening?

I use Intel graphics:

$ lspci -v | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

Re: Strange Fullscreen Flash Bug

Many people report problems with fullscreen flash.
Maybe you can stream it and play with e.g. mplayer?

I mean, it works after I toggle fullscreen a few times, I'm just confused about why it works after a while.
