[intrepid] Flickering flash-menu

[Sense Egbert Hofstede]

Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

I'm using an up to date 64bit version of Intrepid with the proposed repositories enabled.
The menu at this site: http://www.regnumonline.com.ar/ is flickering with flashplugin-nonfree. I didn't test with other players.

A note: some embedded YouTube videos also suffer from flickering.

I can confirm this bug in my fully updated Intrepid (32 bit version). See http://www.langostinux.es for flickering Youtube videos.

With Konqueror I can see the http://www.regnumonline.com.ar/ menu OK, so I don't know if the problem is related to Firefox. However, I can't see any embedded Youtube videos with Konqueror.

[Ricardo Pérez López (ricardo)]

Sense, are you using nvidia driver?

[Sense Egbert Hofstede (sense)]

I'm indeed using the nvidia driver, version 177. The card is a 9600GT.

I have the same problem using xorg radeon driver (XT1600)

Bug seems to be fixed with new flash update!

[Ricardo Pérez López (ricardo)]

Yes, it's solved for me too!

I'm going to mark the bugreport as fixed, and I'll reopen it if the problem appears again in the future.

Good work :)
