Bug Description
System details: Arch Linux, 3.12.9, KDE 4.12.1, firefox 26.0 (I've also tried chromium 32.0.1700 with the same results), pipelight 0.2.4.1, wine 1.7.11, Nvidia eForce GTX 570 card, driver 331.38, flash 12.0.0.43
Symptoms: on 4od and BBC IPlayer, the plugin works fine initially, and plays fine. However, after interacting for a while (especially right clicking and /hovering/ over the "Settings" menu item), I can no longer interact with the host browser (can't click links, or even the browser navigation controls/tab switching etc). Flash still plays videos fine though, but I can't always click on controls in flash either.
To get control back, I need to alt-tab; then it all works again. Unfortunately I'm running this on a TV without a keyboard, so I can't alt tab very easily. Its also quite annoying generally.
I've just enabled linuxWindowless
The release notes say linuxWindowlessMode disables HW acceleration, so its not ideal.

Attached startup log with linuxwindowless mode disabled. Nothing is actually output to the log when the problem occurs though.
