[Bug 87440] Re: Desktop freeze when right clicking on a flash with Firefox

[Frank Bob]

I see this behaviour but not reproducibly.

I run kubuntu feisty but always use firefox for browsing.

If I right click on a flash part of the web page, sometimes firefox and
all of the desktop freezes. The flash context menu is 'partly drawn'. I
can still move the mouse but I can't click anything and can't type
anything. The freeze usually happens when I've had firefox running for a
long time. I can never reproduce it when I go back to the same web page.

I have firefox 2.0.0.3  from feisty repos
flashplugin-nonfree 9.0.31.0.2ubuntu1
sun-java6-plugin 6-00-2ubuntu2

Using nvidia driver in xorg

This freeze provokes a huge memory leak in X. I switched to console and
saw that Xorg was using 60% of 1 GB of RAM. After I killed the firefox-
bin process, this went down to around 6% (normal). But when I switched
back to X (ctrl-alt-f7) it was still frozen: I could move the mouse but
not click anything. I ended up killing the X session.

If ever I find a way to consistently reproduce this, I'll report it.

The next time it happens, is there anything I could do to isolate the problem?
