tinypic.com - firefox - gnash flash opens bogus windows, slows down computer

[Savvas Radevic]

I'm using
- Ubuntu Linux Feisty Fawn 7.04 amd64, kernel 2.6.20-16-generic, Gnome desktop
- processor Intel Core 2 Duo E6550
- graphics card msi nvidia NX7300GT

I've installed mozilla-plugin-gnash as there's no alternative without using the 32-bit version of Mozilla Firefox.
I then ran mozilla firefox. Most flash websites show fine, but in tinypic.com there's something going on. This bug has been reappearing every single time I tried to upload something.

Here's what I did:
- visited http://tinypic.com
- uploaded a png or gif or jpg image
- wait for a while
- when it shows the links of the uploaded image, click on one (any of the three) input boxes or the button that says "copy".

The bad result: It pops up various odd windows (either one or two in my case to be exact). These "windows" appear to have a "grayish" border instead of the metacity one and are enormously slowing down the computer, to a point that when I click on something, it doesn't allow it.

Normally, when a user without gnash clicks on the input boxes containing the image links, it would simply highlight the link inside the input box, without popping up
I believe the problematic package is either gnash or mozilla-plugin-gnash, because, when I removed/uninstalled the package, the problem disappeared. The only way so far to stop this continuous slow-down is to hit ctrl-alt-F1, login, and killall -9 gnash or killall -9 firefox-bin to stop this.

I'm currently reattempting to install mozilla-plugin-gnash.

ok this time some use the normal metacity theme & border (blue in my case) or appear to be using a grey one.
The window with the black background had a HUGE WIDTH, about 5-6 times bigger than my screen's 1024x768!

The good thing is that now it didn't slow down the computer, I could close it without any side-effects.

I'm not using gnash anymore, can't reproduce it
