Bug Description

I have Ubuntu 10.04 AMD64 and Flash 10.0.45.2. I have Firefox, Chromium, Epiphany and Opera.

In all browsers, there are problems interacting with Flash by using the mouse. On some websites, I am able to click a few times, and then not able to click on actions after that. But on others, I am not able to click on any actions at all.

I am forced to either use the Tab key to find the action and hit enter, or load the websites in a Windows XP VirtualBox instance.

I can confirm that if you set visual effects to none this issue seems to disappear for Ubuntu.
