+ *******
+ WARNING
+ *******
+ - This bug report is saturated of comments: only post if you have read all the previous ones and you are sure what you will say is very relevant.
+ - In any other case, just mark the bug as affecting you.
  
- IMPORTANT 1: Please see the WORKAROUND a few lines below.
+ ****************
+ HOW TO REPRODUCE
+ ****************
+ 1. Go to a web-page that uses your web-cam.
+ 2. Switch on the web-cam through the interface provided in the web-page.
+ 3. When you are asked to allow the web-cam to be accessed by Adobe Flash, click on the "Allow" button.
  
- IMPORTANT 2: Please don't post any "me too message"; use the "Does this
- bug affect you?" feature you can find a bit above this bug description
- on launchpad.
+ *********
+ BEHAVIOUR
+ *********
+ - EXPECTED: The button to be clicked.
+ - REAL: Its impossible to click any button from the Adobe Flash dialogue that appeared.
  
- IMPORTANT 3: Do not post anything if you haven't read all comments to
- verify that your point hasn't been made. If you feel tempted to stop
- reading because there are too many messages, that is a strong indicator
- that you shouldn't add even more comments. Developers have a tough time
- to find anything if you post redundant stuff. So please abstain from
- doing that.
+ ***********
+ WORK-AROUND
+ ***********
+ - Use the web-page control panel instead, at http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/es/flashplayer/help/settings_manager08.html.
  
- =================================================
- 
- So here the bug and workarounds.
- 
- For example on youtube, whilst it recognises my mouse moving over
- various buttons, actual mouse clicks are not recognised. I can navigate
- using 'tab' but this is very painful. I can also right click. The
- problem doesn't occur with other flash players, e.g. swfdec-mozilla.
- 
- WORKAROUND 1: Disable compiz
- WORKAROUND 2: Remove flashplugin-nonfree / flashplugin-installer and install from adobe
- WORKAROUND 3: Open a terminal and enter:
- 
- gksudo gedit /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer
- 
- Then add: export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 before the last line of text
- 
- Note: Chrome & Chromium are now working fine without workaround
- 
- These workaround's have been verified to work for some users. We don't
- need verification of whether or not they work for you.
- 
- =================================================
+ ****************
+ RELEVANT DETAILS
+ ****************
+ - Affects any GNOME 3 based desktop environment, which uses 3D desktop effects.
+ - Doesn't affect KDE, XFCE and LXDE desktop environments.
+ - Affects any web-browser.
+ - Gnash is incompatible with these dialogues.
+ - "swfdec-mozilla" is now a dummy package for Gnash.
+ - Installing the Flash Player from Adobe's web-page has the same effect.
