Bug Description
Binary package hint: konqueror
This web page causes all sorts of havoc with Konqueror:
http://
Right-clicking on one of the embedded flash viewers hangs up the X server. First, a context menu appears, but it's inoperable. Then nspluginviewer eats 100% of the CPU. Something has grabbed the X server, because although I can alt-f1 my way to a console, all mouse input in X11 is ignored. After killing nspluginviewer, I managed to get X11 unstuck by pressing alt-tab.
Naturally, we should suspect the flash plugin as being the culprit, but the same web page works just fine in Firefox (and they're using the same exact plugin).

I can't reproduce this on Feisty or Edgy. What version of (k)ubuntu and kde were you running and can you reproduce this on edgy final?
