Right, so i've got a dual monitor set-up, and I've found that if I have two or more tabs with youtube videos paused, and I start one in full screen, then click my second monitor, the flash plugin essentially crashes. the video still plays apparently, or at least the sound does, but I cannot click anything, trying to change tabs or do anything on my secondary monitor does nothing other then grey it out saying that it's not responding. Same with my primary monitor if I try to alt+tab out of the flash player fullscreen thing. I have found that ending the flash player process imediately gives me control back, since it's forcing the fullscreen to shut down, but if i do not do this, then I have no access to my browser for several minutes.

Does anyone know what i need to do to fix this? I've trying turning off hardware acceleration and the various commonly suggested fixes, and they don't do shit. So please, help me figure this out. if you need more information, I can provide it.

I should mention that I have this problem in safe-mode as well. all addons are dissables, and I still have this problem. I've already tried re-installing adobe flash, and still nothing changes.
