Package: nspluginwrapper
Version: 0.9.91.4-3
Severity: normal

I have iceape with nspluginwrapper and Adobe 32-bit flash plugin 
installed on my debian-amd64/unstable system. I've just noticed that 
even when a flash application is running inside iceape browser that is 
NOT currently active window, it is still receiving all the keystokes and 
responding to them. 
I believe this is a security hole as this opens a possibilty to 
a flash application to spy on you (e.g., when you are typing a password 
for some other application).
Also, as I am unable to reproduce this bug with debian-i386/unstable and 
Adobe flash plugin, I believe this bug is somehow related to nspluginwrapper 
used on debian-amd64. If it is not related to nspluginwrapper, please 
forward this bugreport accordingly.

To reproduce this bug:

1) Run iceape and load this page:
http://www.addictinggames.com/bloxors.html

2) You will see a (nice) flash game. Start a new game there and proceed 
to Stage 1. Note that the game is controlled by the arrows keys on the 
keyboard.

3) Now, switch to other application (e.g., run a text editor) and 
try to press arrow keys there. You will see that the flash game is still 
responding to these keys, meaning that it gets the keystrokes that are 
supposed to have an effect in this other application only.
