The latest mainline kernel (3.11.0-031100-generic, modified 9-2-13) still suffers from the bug. Software Update also offered an updated version of the Flashplugin- Installer (updating 11.2.202.297 to 11.2.202.297), but that did not fix the problem either. -- You received this bug notification be

That makes sense to me, but I was even less equipped to disagree with a maintainer. It seems that "Kernel Bisection" is not as scary a procedure as the term might lead one to imagine. OK, Flash 11.2 performs normally with the 3.7.0-7.15 kernel, but fails with 3.8.0-0.2. -- You received this bug
