Full screen doesn't work when embedding using shortcode

After installing the extension, embedding the slideshow works fine whether I use a single-line URL to the slideshow (option 1 of the plugin) or using the WordPress shortcode (option 2 of the plugin). It also works for the iframe embedding.

The issue I have is solely with the full-screen button. This button works fine if I use the URL on its own line, and when I use the iframe code generated by the share button. But when I use the WordPress shortcode generated by this share button, the full-screen button does not function. I get no javascript errors in the console, I see no errors occurring anywhere on the page.

Does anyone else notice this problem? Is there a bug here?

A bit more information: The two types of embed that work – pasting the slideshow URL (e.g. http://www.slideshare.net/khoslaventures/project-rifle) on a line by itself in the editor and including the iframe HTML directly in the editor (e.g. <iframe style="border: 1px solid #CCC; border-width: 1px; margin-bottom: 5px; max-width: 100%;" src="//www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/key/hwtKQyW5Vuj5Gv" width="425" height="355" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"> </iframe>) – produce an iframe with src attribute set to (for a test slideshow) https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/key/hwtKQyW5Vuj5Gv and //www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/key/hwtKQyW5Vuj5Gv, respectively (the later simply implying the protocol from that which the browser used to load the page)

The WordPress shortcode (e.g. [slideshare id=49610449&doc=khosla-ventures-project-rifle-150619175300-lva1-app6891]) produces an iframe, for the same slideshow, with a src attribute set to https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/49610449.

So there appears to be a different backend mechanism generating the two different references to the slideshow, the shortcode method not producing an allowfullscreen attribute in the iframe tag.

NB: when not used in an iframe (e.g. by clicking on the above links from here, thereby opening them in their own window), the full-screen option seems to work in all cases.

I also have this issue but only with Chrome and Firefox. With internet explorer it works fine.

I’m experiencing this as well and I really need to have a full screen view of the pdf files I am using. Without the full screen view, my students will not be able to see that is going on. Is there an update on this issue, a fix, or an alternative?
