Mouse pointer hidden across tabs
A site like http://smotri.com/ will hide the mouse pointer in other tabs when a video page is open. I often do stuff with videos in the background, either loading or just keeping it open, and this could be very annoying if sites I used more did it (e.g. YouTube).I think it's a flash feature that is most commonly used with full screen playback. I'm not sure if other plug-ins like a DivX player would do the same, as I can't think of any site to test with. It doesn't seem unthinkable, though.
Hopefully, it's fixable within Opera. I tested with Firefox, and it behaves the same way. Portable SRWare Iron (Chrome) never hides the mouse pointer, which I honestly think is better, but I'm not sure if that's the best solution. Is this even a legit browser bug, or does it have no place on these forums? I haven't filled out any bug report on it.
