Bug Description

Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

The issue with the mouse while using flash player on such sites such as youtube
Issue: Can't click but can hover over items
Cause: Graphics driver not drawing proper click boxes for onclick actions to work.

Solution: System--->Preferences------>Appearance-------->Visual Effects

CLICK NONE for visual effects.
flashplayer now works.

either in the graphics acceleration driver, the interpretation of such from compiz, or the flashplayer interpretation is at fault.
Addequate OnClick boxes have to be drawn to the same size of the buttons/text fields.
