Problem with full screen on Safari

[sthlmscripter]

Hi everyone!
For some reason my Safari have decided to always play full screen video in a new space. This is kind of irritating because in some cases, on some web pages, the full screen mode now doesn't work at all. When I click on symbol with the double arrows under the video nothing just happens.
So how do I change it back so Safari plays full screen videos on the desktop I'm actually watching?
All suggestions is appreciated!

I think it's a Mavericks thing (if you have it). I find it annoying as well and do not have a solution for it.

Nope, have Lion (10.7.5) on a MacBook Pro.

Hello! I found a solution by myself. Seemed that I had some kind of trouble with the Flash Player. Because when I uninstalled it and installed an older version of it (just to be safe) - it worked!
Now when I click on "full screen" the video go full screen and stays in space. Hurray!

I'm having the same problem. Especially with youtube. When I press a video to go to full screen, it goes to a new space, creating that annoying and slow transition effect. But some video's go full screen right away.

I also have this problem when watching a movie with VLC. But yesterday, I found a solution for that.

If you also don't like this effect, in VLC: go to properties, and on the interface tab, uncheck the second box that's saying something like: Use standard fullscreen mode (not 100% sure because my VLC is in Dutch )

As for Safari, I'll also try an older version of Flash. But I'll need to click on a few video's to be sure, because as I said, some video's open without the transition and some with.

Maybe it's the same for the OP?

I was under the impression that there have recently been a couple of "crucial" software upgrades to Flash Player to address security issues for all versions prior to 12.0.0.70.

Just a heads up on the off chance that you were not aware of the issue...

I just uninstalled Flash and youtube still works.. ? I thought it shouldn't work without it. And I checked, I'm not on HTML5.

And going fullscreen still opens a new space in Safari, very annoying.

So my question is, do I need the flash player at all since youtube works without. :roll eyes:

Edit: Actually, I do need flash ^^ youtube just said it needs the plug-in
