1. Go to a web-page that uses your web-cam.
2. Switch on the web-cam through the interface provided in the web-page.
3. When you are asked to allow the web-cam to be accessed by Adobe Flash, click on the "Allow" button.

*********
BEHAVIOUR
*********
- EXPECTED: The button to be clicked.
- REAL: Its impossible to click any button from the Adobe Flash dialogue that appeared.

***********
WORK-AROUND
***********
- To use the online control panel instead, at http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/es/flashplayer/help/settings_manager08.html.
- If available; to disable desktop effects, or to switch to Ubuntu 2D desktop at the log-in screen.

RELEVANT DETAILS

- Affects any GNOME 3 based desktop environment, which uses 3D desktop effects.
- Doesn't affect Unity 2D, KDE, XFCE and LXDE desktop environments.
