Right, but this still an upstream crash in the flashpalyer plugin. Moreover, the older version QtWebKit, v2.0, which is the one included in Qt 4.7, lacks many flash related fixes that are present in QtWebKit 2.2, the version that will come with Qt 4.8 or can be installed right now from the release tar ball.

To see how old the version of QtWebKit that is bundled with Qt 4.7 is, simply look at the number of bug fixes that are in the last two QtWebKit release, post the version included in Qt 4.7. Also search for the word "flash" in the first link to see the number flash related fixes.

Closing this ticket as downstream not only because the issue is in Adobe's flash player, but also because distros could be doing a much better job of extracting QtWebKit into its own package and releasing it standalone so it can benefit from new updates instead of simply relying on on major Qt release.
