That's Flash's behavior, not YouTube's choice - we'd love to allow fullscreen usage on one screen while focus is in another. This is the right way to do it, though - content can<i> </i>request changes to the fullscreen state, but the User Agent is ultimately responsible for granting or denying that request, or even changing arbitrarily later on.<div>

<br>
it is not ok to allow content authors to refuse to deliver content<br>
unless they are "full screen".<br>
<br>
having events which enable providers to hold users hostage is a bad thing.<br>
<br>
if i have two screens today and try to watch a youtube video "full<br>
screen" (with flash), it tries to unfullscreen when my focus shifts to<br>
the other screen.<br>
<br>
this isn't proper. my system should not be held hostage to the whims<br>
of providers..<br>
