[Travis Watkins]

** Description changed:

  ===+++ _____________________ !  ALL USERS  !  _____________________ +++===
  ===+++ READ THIS BEFORE MAKING A COMMENT OR MODIFICATION +++===
  
  IMPORTANT 1: Please see the WORKAROUND a few lines below.
  
  IMPORTANT 2: Please don't post any "me too message"; use the "Does this
  bug affect you?" feature you can find a bit above this bug description
  on launchpad.
  
  IMPORTANT 3: Do not post anything if you haven't read all comments to
  verify that your point hasn't been made. If you feel tempted to stop
  reading because there are too many messages, that is a strong indicator
  that you shouldn't add even more comments. Developers have a tough time
  to find anything if you post redundant stuff. So please abstain from
  doing that.
  
- IMPORTANT 4: This is NOT a copmiz bug.
- 
  =================================================
  
  So here the bug and workarounds.
  
  For example on youtube, whilst it recognises my mouse moving over
  various buttons, actual mouse clicks are not recognised. I can navigate
  using 'tab' but this is very painful. I can also right click. The
  problem doesn't occur with other flash players, e.g. swfdec-mozilla.
  
- WORKAROUND 1: Remove flashplugin-nonfree / flashplugin-installer and
- install from adobe
+ WORKAROUND 1: Disable compiz
+ WORKAROUND 2: Remove flashplugin-nonfree / flashplugin-installer and install from adobe
+ WORKAROUND 3: Open a terminal and enter:
  
- WORKAROUND 2:
- In a terminal become root (sudo -s)
- cd /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/
- mv npviewer.bin npviewer.bin.real
- cat "#!/bin/sh" >> npviewer.bin
- cat "GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer.bin.real $*" >> npviewer.bin
- chmod 755 npviewer.bin
+ gksudo gedit /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer
+ 
+ Then add: export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 before the last line of text
+ 
+ 
+ Note: The only workaround for Chrome/Chromium users is to disable compiz.
  
  These workaround's have been verified to work for some users. We don't
  need verification of whether or not they work for you.
