Bug Description

On Ubuntu 12.04 x64 system Adobe Flash Player mouse clicks don't register on User Menu if using Unity.
If using Unity-2d - Mouse clicks on the Flash Player User Menu -DO- work/register... but webcam still doesn't work (See Bug #1003743)

On Debian 6 x64 the Mouse clicks do work.

I've been trying to get my webcam working in 12.04 x64 system.
Tried all recommendations including tried tools like "cheese" it recognizes webcam but no picture

$ dmesg (partial) shows webcam present

NOTE #1: Unity vs Unity 2d issue -- WEBCAM fails in either BUT in Unity 2d there is no picture but at least screen goes from
                    pure black to colors

NOTE #2: I will file a separate bug ... but I think the solution to this BUG is related to Adobe Flash Player NOT working
          also in Ubuntu 12.04 x64 OS.
          MANY people have attached to that Ubuntu Bug AND DOZENS of bugs marked duplicates of it.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/410407

Again, only x64 versions of Ubuntu affected.

I also have screenshots that I can send showing FLASH PLAYER -and- Webcam work in Debian 6 x64 -but- both fail in Ubuntu 12.04 x64 with Unity.

I also have a screenshot I can send that shows FLASH PLAYER -is- mouse clickable in in Ubuntu 12.04 x64 (even though the webcam still doesn't work.

I wanted to file these 2 bugs because Debian and Ubuntu or so closely related that perhaps some DEV can figure out why both these 2 issues fail in
Ubuntu 12.04 x64 release yet BOTH work in Debian 6 x64 release?

There are ALOT of people having these 2 problems right now.

If you want the 3 screenshots showing this let me know.

thanks

I have a guess that both are related and possibly a cause of the move to multi-arch and to Unity.

Multi-arch because it seems they are both affecting x64 users from what I can see.

And Unity (at least for the webcam problems) because symptoms are less pronounced if you switch from Unity to Unity 2d or one of the Gnome options.
