Title:
  custom mouse cursors in flash apps (in firefox) produces double mouse
  cursor

Status in “flashplugin-nonfree” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace

  = situation = 
  using firefox and running a flash application which uses a custom mouse pointer (like many flash games today as seen i.e. at facebook or similar), the mouse pointer from kde doesn't get replaced with the one from the flash app - which produces a double mouse pointer (the one from the system and the one from the game).

  = faulty behavior =
  kwin or whatever doesn't hide the system cursor if the user uses an flash app in firefox which provides an own cursor.

  = expected behavior =
  the user should only see one cursor and not both. either the flash cursor or system cursor should be hidden.

  = how to reproduce =
  - start firefox
  - find a flash app which uses an own cursor (like everyone on fb)
  - take a look at the mouse cursor

  = comment =
  i know this sounds like a minor bug, but it's really annoying actually. the double cursor makes it inconsistent to know where to actually click and it has an unnaturally feeling. in windows this is not a problem.

  i don't know exactly which part should "hide" the system cursor, it
  it's sole responsibility of the flash plugin to do this(?) - so maybe
  it's a bug there(?).

  the flash plugin version is 10,0,32,18, the latest available.

  i'm sorry if this is a pure upstream bug.. ;-)
