[Bug 333418] [NEW] Flashplayer locks up when (preferences) menu is opened

[Tim Fuchs]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

When a flashplayer menu is opened, e.g. the menu that comes up when you
right click and select preferences the flashplayer locks up and doesn't
react to input anymore.

This is not a real problem with the preferences menu because it is
pretty much useless anyway but it makes all flash files that require
video or sound input useless because you can't grant them access to a
device.

Example:

Go to YouTube and open the Quickcapture tool (http://www.youtube.com/my_videos_quick_capture)
A menu opens up asking you to grant access to your webcam.
You cannot grant access because the menu doesn't react to input anymore.


I realize flash is closed source and there's not much anyone can do about this except Adobe, but it's still a bug and maybe there is a workaround available.
