Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:
  1) Open a flash file. Be it a game, video, website, etc.
  2) Right click on the flash player and select "Settings"
  3) Try to click on something in the dialog box such as a checkbox or a tab

  What is expected to happen:
  The dialog box responds to user input, e.g. checking a checkbox or switching to a different tab.

  What happens instead:
  The dialog box does not respond. Nothing happens when the user interacts with it. The user must refresh the page to exit the dialog box.

  Workaround #1:

  1) Go to http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager06.html#117645
  2) Configure your Flash Player settings using the Settings Panel

  Workaround #2:
  1) Open Flash in fullscreen mode
  2) Open Settings and configure your preferences

  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

  Notice : the problem has been already corrected two years before : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/410407?comments=all
  I'll add that it's perhaps because of Compiz : It works with Unity 2d, KDE, Gnome-Shell, Gnome-Session-With-No-Effect BUT it affects Ubuntu 3D, Gnome-Session Fallback and Cairo-Dock session
