Looks like I'll be running a monologue on this one, but fwiw I can mention some of the actions I've done to narrow it down:
1. The same thing happens with flash widgets in both firefox (my standard browser) and chromium. 2. It's present in both Natty/Gnome 2 and Precise/Xubuntu. 3. Creating a new user on the same machine with the same desktop environment does not exhibit the problem. 4. Running firefox with add-ons disabled does not make a difference. 5. If I move away ~/.mozilla it doesn't appear to happen on the first firefox launch, but it's back again in subsequent launches. 6. Using strace I've tracked all files/dirs that are opened on launch in my home directory, e.g. .adobe, .macromedia, .config, .local, .cache, .fontconfig, .gtkrc-2.0, .fonts.conf, .nv, and of course .mozilla. I then moved them away all at once. It does not make any difference if I just launch another firefox instance, but it seemingly fixes the problem if I log out and back in. This leads me to believe it's influenced by some setting communicated over D-Bus or somesuch mechanism, but I'm at a bit of a loss as to how I'd trace that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/968692 Title: Some flash widgets are not obscured by overlapping windows To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/968692/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
