Flash fullscreen

Hello I have been experiencing an issue for a while now where flash videos (primarily from youtube) in my dual monitor do not scale properly too fullscreen. All videos have a large black border around them and it is a bit annoying. I have searched for some other related topics but most of them seem to be a year or more old so I would like to see if there has been any real solution yet. Ill put a screenshot below of my issue. I am running a dual monitor setup between my laptop and a larger 1080p monitor with intel drivers (i have nvidia card with optimus so i'm using the intel chipset) and I use google chrome. Any help would be great

Re: Flash fullscreen

I apologize for the cross posting I hit the back space when i realized I forgot the image and didn't realize my original post had already been posted and I posted to the first one before I read another post saying not to post for help in year old threads so I made the current one. For flash I currently have flashplugin 11.2.202.236-1 installed.

Re: Flash fullscreen

AFAIK this issues is related to dual-head configuration. Esp. with NVidia cards and Twin View.
Somehow Flash is unable to detect the resolution correctly in such cases.
I do not know how to solve it though. Use Google Kung-Fu
