Bug Description
Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree
A most bizarre issue. I am on the latest Meerkat updates. This issue has appeared for me a few weeks before the new release. I am on AMD64, free Nouveau nvidia drivers.
For me it is easily repeatable. Login, open web page with flash content (BBC iPlayer / youtube). Play the content. Left click is now unresponsive anywhere in the GUI, but other buttons work fine as does keyboard. Solution for me is to open a terminal and kill GDM.
I isolated this down either to something flash is doing or something flash is triggering elsewhere as with flashblock installed there is no issue.
I am happy to help with any extra information etc.
