Thank you for your report zmass,

the problem you describe appears either in firefox and in opera. Since it is not a firefox problem I'm closing the firefox task.

I'm opening a flash report.

Thank you.

I can confirm this, I actually visited the same webpage and had the exact look as the reporters' screenshot. I'm on Gutsy, and was using Opera 9.21 . Build 641 for Linux, a list of currently installed plugins is attached (Flash is 9). Given the fact it's between the two browsers, I'm sure that the flash assignment is the best route to go.

Any more info needed, please let me know; I've duplicated it twice, once with firefox 2.0.0.4 and the aforementioned browser.

I see this a lot as well. It's very annoying as it renders some webpages completely unusable!

There are few reasons why I still have a headless Windows box under my desk. Working around this problem is one of them...

It looks like it's a Macromedia bug to me... : (
