AW: Did anyone refile bug for Flash Player shows green/purple in compressed window?

[John Hupp]

Granted that Adobe Flash Player for Linux is being orphaned.

But before the bug was closed, it seemed that it was being treated as a 
kernel bug, not a Flash bug, so from that angle there could be a fix.

And I would think that there would be broad desire for a fix, since 
there are a lot of these Dell's running XP, which *buntu would like to 
replace.  And perhaps many other machines with the same Intel graphics 
subject to the bug.

Not only that, but Flash is still in tremendously wide usage, though 
HTML5 is gaining ground.  (Last I knew though, Hulu's analysis was that 
HTML5 didn't presently support their business model).  So if you're 
trying to be a capable general-purpose desktop distro, right now you 
need to be able to handle Flash smoothly.
