[Bug 243856] [NEW] Flash under Firefox sometimes loses keyboard events

[David Nemeskey]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

When playing a flash game, such as
http://www.freewebarcade.com/game/black-2/, every so often the game
stops accepting keyboard events after a mouse click. If now I click
again with the mouse, the keyboard will work again. The mouse keeps
working during the keyboard lockup too.

It feels as if the flash game has lost focus, but it is clearly not the
case: I cannot use Firefox shortcuts either.

The error appears every time I play a flash game. To reproduce it, try
to move around the game linked above, keep shooting until the keyboard
stops working. Be sure to leave a short time between the mouse clicks,
so that you can register the keyboard failure.

I am under Kubuntu Hardy. Using the latest versions of everything. This
bug does not appear under Konqueror. It appears every time under
Firefox, even with all add-ons disabled.

** Affects: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu)
