[Bug 911276] [NEW] firefox flash videos blocks area in other tabs

[piratemurray]

Public bug reported:

Firefox 9.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.11.10.2
Shockwave Flash 11.2 d202
Ubuntu Oneiric x86

Only noticed this when upgraded to FF9 via update manager.

Watching a video in one tab then switch to another tab. Partial areas of
the other tab can't be viewed whilst the flash video is running. Area is
exact size of flash video see attached screenshot.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Load flash video in one tab
2) Open another tab and browse to website

Expected result:
Flash video in one tab does not interfere with the content of the the second tab

Actual result:
Flash video area (but not playing video) is carried over to second tab making navigation in second tab imposible
