Well, it looks to me like the bug occurs in Safari (on my MacBook Pro Intel laptop) whenever there is more than one laszlo app running in the same HTML page. I'm guessing it happens if there is more than one of any kind of Flash application running in the page.
It would be a real showstopper if it happened with just a single app. I'm surprised there isn't a fix or workaround out for this from Adobe. It happens with swf9 apps as well. I wonder why Firefox doesn't exhibit this problem. Opera doesn't either as a matter of fact.
