[Bug 865672] Re: "Adobe Flash Player Settings" dialogue does not respond to mouse clicks

 

I never had the problem, either... that is until I switched to Ubuntu
12.04! Now the problem can seriously interfere with my computing, both
during work and play! I have tried all sorts of web browsers, from
Firefox to Midori to Chromium to Google Chrome, which uses a separate
Flash Player engine than the others, all to no avail. This problem needs
to be fixed: My customers that I work on their computers for are
experiencing the same problem and are starting to complain. I don't want
people to start hating Ubuntu again for stupid little reasons!

Bug description:
  WORKAROUNDS:

  1.
  http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager06.html#117645

  2. Click on the flash window. Now use the keyboard to tab through the
  settings dialog. Space to select.

  
  ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
  Adobe flash player is configured on my system to ask before a website sets a flash cookie, so if a video (eg on youtube) is played, a dialogue box will pop up asking me whether or not to allow the website to store a cookie on my machine.  However, nothing happens when I click on either 'allow' or 'deny', so the box stays put and I can't view or control the video playing beneath it.
  On this machine I upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10; in 11.04 there was a program for adjusting the flash player settings in the System Settings control panel, but that program is no longer there and not accessible via the dash, so there is no obvious way to just configure flash to allow all cookies and avoid the dialogue box.

  Workaround: using Unity 2D instead
