[Bug 263435] [NEW] Firefox cannot close tab (using Ctrl-w) when flash content is selected on page

[komputes]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

Firefox cannot close tab (using Ctrl-w) when flash content is selected
on page.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Open a new Tab
2) Go to a website with flash content (in this case youtube.com)
3) Selected the flash content by clicking on it (in this case click on play)
4) While the content plays, pres Ctrl-w to close the tab

Result: The tab does not close
Expectation: The tab should close

A good way of knowing that selecting the flash content is what is
causing this bug is if you select a part of the page that is not flash
content (in this case empty white space at the right or the left of the
video) followed by Ctrl-W, the tab closes.

Ubuntu Hardy (2.6.24-19-generic)
firefox 3.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.3
