Thought I'd throw this out to the list and see what people's opinions on the problem are.
Does anyone else experience this behavior:
Flash, at least in Opera, eats my keyboard. If there's a page with any flash on it whatsoever (which often seems to malfunction itself), from Flash-based games to Flash-based banner ads, it seems like the Flash plugin begins eating all of my keypresses, whether or not that particular Flash widget has focus. As in, if I encounter a page with Flash, I can't even type anything in Opera's address bar; if I want to navigate anywhere else, I have to close the page and start over.
This can get pretty annoying if I'm using some ad-supported form-based service (such as whitepages.com, for example) and it happens to rotate in a Flash ad, and suddenly I can't type in any of the form fields.
Is this some known issue, or a borked installation on my part, or something more nefarious?
