[Bug 499388] [NEW] flash-alternative player often blocks/hogs all input

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Binary package hint: kdebase

Often when I go to a site which has flash embeded, all keyboard input in
the konqueror browser is apparently eaten by the flash player.  In
particular typing input in any input fields in any tab or any other
konqueror window is not possible until the nspluginviewer processes have
been killed.

The easiest way to reproduce this is to go to a site such as youtube,
surf around a little bit, open one or two extra tabs, sometimes clicking
in the flash players, then after a while, it is not possible to enter
anything into the search field.  In extreme cases, input from the mouse
buttons is also no longer recognised, in which case the browser process
itself has to be killed vis an ssh login from a remote machine.
