Howdy. I had the same issue on Ubuntu 9.10, 32-bit, Firefox 3.5.7 on both Blackbox and Fluxbox -- but not Gnome, and not with Chrome. What solved it for me was tacking the following line on /etc/profile: export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 and logging out and back in again. That fixes it across the board for all users.

Further to my own comment #212: If you want to automagically solve this for apps you run from the command line and not just apps run from menus, drop this line into /etc/bash.bashrc or your own ~/.bashrc as well: export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 WLB -- just do this from a terminal as an admin user (or the user you set up during the Ubuntu install): sudo su -l probably have to enter your password then echo export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 /etc/profile echo export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 /etc/bash.bashrc exit You should be good to go.

Incredibly, I appear to have something new to add: On my system (Karmic 64-bit), the problem appears when I enable System - Preferences - Windows - Select windows when the mouse moves over them. One additional data point: when my mouses passes over certain areas, such as buttons, on a Flash movie, it turns into a hand pointer, to indicate that I can click there I suppose. When the clicks are working, the cursor stays a hand pointer while the mouse button is down.

Re: [Compiz] [Bug 410407] Re: Flash does not work correctly [READ DESCRIPTION]
Configurations in general should be left along by updates; for all the installer knows, the user may need GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 for something else, and if the installer breaks it, it could be very difficult for the user to track down. Furthermore, there could be many different workarounds/hacks all used in various combinations; it would be very difficult to create a script to properly handle all of these situations without introducing more bugs. Instead, the user should be responsible for reversing any manual modifications they have made. -S On Thu, Dec 17, 2009 at 6:06 AM, Alfredo Pironti alfr...@pironti.eu wrote: Please, when this bug is fixed, also provide a way to revert the user made workarounds.

I buy your point. Nevertheless, at least the users should be notified when the problem will be solved (not only by marking this bug as solved), so that they can revert their workarounds.

[Compiz] [Bug 410407] Re: Flash does not work correctly [READ DESCRIPTION]
as far as opera is concerned I can say that it is related to if the plugin has focus or not. if the plugin doesn't have focus the click is getting through, if the plugin has focus they don't. this results in a behaviour like this: first click works(1) - subsequent clicks dont(2) - click outside plugin(3) - repeat My speculations about what happens: (1): When you click on the plugin area the click gets registered by the browser which activates the plugin and forwards the click to it via the API. (2): the clicks are directly handled by the plugin - something bad is happening here (3): when you click outside the plugin area you take away the focus from it and thus also rip it off the mouse/keyboard control - subsequent clicks are again registered by the browser As I said these are speculations as I don't have the slightest clue about how the plugin API really works, but it would explain the behavior that I see here. -- Flash does not work correctly [READ DESCRIPTION] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/410407 You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Further update: I've managed to get flash working fine in Firefox, here's what I did: I'm using Opensuse 11.2, kde 4.3, compiz 0.8.4, firefox 3.5.5 Using YaST I deleted all flash packages. Downloaded the latest Flash from Adobe as a tar.gz, extracted the contents, then, using super-user mode in my file manager, copied the file libflashplayer.so into my usr/lib/browser-plugins folder. Restarted Firefox and all flash sites that I've tried so far have worked perfectly. Yast now says I've got no flash packages installed but i don't really care because it works :) The problem still persists in Opera, but I can still use the hold-right-click workaround and I only use Opera as a backup browser anyway. I don't know why/how this works, but it does for me.

as for a workaround for opera: it basically works the same as with firefox (exporting GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1). The file to do this is /usr/lib/opera/operapluginwrapper. I added it right before the exec (last line) and that seems to work. So, the end of the file looks like this now: export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1; exec $wrapper $@ I also tried to export this when executing opera through a script in ~/bin/opera, but that didn't work (I still use the script to add the -systemstyle property though for my qt4 build ;)) -- Flash does not work correctly [READ DESCRIPTION] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/410407 You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Just reporting: this issue is still present with the newly released 64 bit Flash v 10.0.42.34.
