Following what jsteinhart said, I've found more specifics about this bug and have a work around:

1. If I hold either the back, forward or mouse wheel button down then left-click, Flash receives the click as normal.
2. If I right mouse to bring up Flash's context menu, then move the mouse and click away from the menu, THEN do NOT move the mouse, and left-click once more Flash responds correctly ONCE.

It seems any mouse button in combination with the left works, but left-clicking on its own or with keyboard modifiers does not.

I'd agree with jsteinhart, something is consuming the click early - something that is circumvented by holding down another mouse key.

Can anyone else confirm this behaviour?
