Consider the following scenario:

You have a computer that is connected to multiple monitors.
You open a Silverlight page by using Firefox 4.0.
You move the page to another monitor.
You try to view the page in full-screen mode.

In this scenario, the page is displayed in full-screen mode on the previous monitor.

Issue 4

Consider the following scenario:

You have Windows Internet Explorer 8 together with Silverlight 4 GDR 1 or a later version of Silverlight installed on a computer.
You run a Silverlight 4 GDR 1 application that contains a custom binding on the computer. The binding has a polling duplex binding element that uses a MultipleMessagesPerPoll value. This value is used during duplex communication.
The HTTP stack is set to use the BrowserHttpWebRequest object.
A poll reaches the ServerPollTimeout value and times out, and no operation originates from the client-side.

In this scenario, an error occurs.

Issue 5

Assume that a Silverlight 4-based application has a DependencyObject object that is set from a StaticResource markup extension. The markup extension is in a template. When you run the application, a memory leak occurs in the template.
