Bug Description

This seems to apply to Adobe's Flash, but please triage as appropriate.

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10, Firefox-3.5, and flash 10.0.32.18 the buttons will do what they normally do on mouseover, but will not function when clicked. It was working a few weeks ago I think, and it will now only sometimes work, giving a single click before it starts ignoring me. I tried clearing cookies, authenticated sessions, etc., has no effect. I have even tried uninstalling flashplugin-nonfree and flashplugin-installer with a complete remove using Synaptic, and reinstalling, and I'm still with the same problem.

I then found a link to clear the website info stored by flash, and cleared said information. I still have the same problem.

I seem to be able to get something to happen if I keep clicking multiple times (20-30 it seems), or right-click and hold, drag right, then left out of the menu, release, and the menu dissapears, then I have one good click to change stations, pause, or what ever I so desire.

This affects Pandora and Youtube; most likely others will also be included.

Flash is the most recent release, "You have version 10,0,32,18 installed" according to the page that comes up when I click the "About Adobe Flash Player 10"

You have version 10,0,32,18 installed
everything works here
