--- Begin Message ---Subject: flashplugin-nonfree: Output of Flash Player appearing on black sections of display. Package: flashplugin-nonfree Version: 1:2.8.3 Severity: important Tags: upstream The latest update of flashplugin-nonfree introduces a bug in which, flash videos display not only within Iceweasel, but also on any black areas on that part of the display. This could be possibly related to the Nvidia nonfree X11 driver (Version 260.19.44 in my case), as both the reporter of Ubuntu Bug 764620, and I, use it. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Iceweasel to a flash video. Youtube videos are confirmed to cause this issue. 2. Place another application with black graphical elements, above that video. (Almost any window will do, because the video will display on anything with color value of 0,0,0 RGB. This is very unforunate, because it also includes most text as well, rendering some parts of a screen unreadable.) 3. Observe that the elements of flashplugin-nonfree are located underneath your window. I rated this important for two reasons. First, it causes a severe usability issue with all applications on that display. Even as I type this in vim, I have to keep adjusting my teminal window so my green on black text is above a black portion of the video I am watching. Otherwise, the contrast is to small for effective use. Second, this video will also display on a black produced by the screensaver application in use. This is a (albiet minor) security hole, as it reveals part of the users display although the screen is locked. Please note that this has already been reported downstream to Ubuntu as bug 764620. Also note that the bug cannot be displayed in a screenshot, and will remain in the same location as when flash player was initially launched. Finally, note that the only workaround I have found for this bug yet, is for the user to logout and log back in to thier X11 session.
