[Bug 410407] Re: flash does not recognise mouse clicks

 

added compiz bug task as there are confirms in the bug that disabling
compiz (some even claim that disabling the compiz "show desktop" plugin)
helps.

milestoning karmic-updates to indicate that it feels worthwhile to role
a SRU in case we find a backportable solution for this.

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree
+ IMPORTANT 1: Please see the WORKAROUND a few lines below.
+ 
+ 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.
+ 
+ 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.
+ 
+ ====
+ 
+ So here the bug and workaround.
  
  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: disable compiz
+ WORKAROUND 2: disable the show desktop plugin in compiz (to be confirmed?)
