[Bug 87495] myheritage.com flash movie crashes clipboard functionality

[J. Carlos Navea]

Public bug reported:

Steps to reproduce:

1. Using Firefox go to: http://www.myheritage.com/
2. Click on the "Find the Celebrity in You" link.
3. Upload an image which has the face of a person
4. Go through the process of having their software pick the celebrity matching the picture
5. Once you are presented with matching pictures, click on the "Cool options" icon (2nd icon from the left (Icon of a wand with stars)) on one of the results pictures. 
6. Select Collage
7. Select any setup.
8. Next
9. Next
10. Select Save
11. From the presented options, select "Other" on the left side
12. Click on the HTML code presented. At this point, it seems like the text area automatically selects all text onfocus. Attempt to copy the HTML.
13. Attempt to paste the code onto any editable area (gedit, firefox URL bar, writer, etc). It shows "undefined" instead of the copied text.

Now, what is most important and why I'm submitting it here instead of
bugzilla, while that flash movie is loaded all clipboard functionality
has been crippled. Try to copy and paste anything from any other program
within gnome. Example, type something in the text editor and attempt to
copy/paste it on the same window or to the terminal. It will still paste
the string "undefined".

I'm not 100% what package this should go under since I'm guessing it
could be a bug in the flash plugin triggering a gnome clipboard issue
and/or a firefox issue.

All packages are up to date.
