Adobe JIRA bug #FP-6302

White rectangles appear at the bottom of Yahoo Sports GameCast windows at the first data refresh.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/scoreboard
2. Click on a game's GameCast link. (Obviously, this must be
    done at night when games are scheduled.)
3. Once it loads the app, wait a moment. Things will come up normally at first.
Actual Results:  
 After about 30 seconds (presumably after the first data refresh), the bottom half of the flash window goes white, as if the screen didn't get refreshed correctly.

Expected Results:  
The flash window to be completely filled by the application.
Worked correctly in v3.6.13.
This is another example.

The video segment should fill the "flash window", but there are black bars at top and bottom which reveal underlying "stuff" when you move the mouse over the bars.

Ron, can you reproduce the bug with a vanilla Firefox 4? See:

Does it install into /usr/local (or $HOME) or into /usr?

(Still happens w/ Iceweasel 4.0rc1

Thanks,
Ron
When you grab the .bz2 archive it will unzip the package to the location you have specified.

Repeatable with FF 4.0rc2 installed into $HOME/bin.
Found this when ran firefox from the CLI.

This seems to be a 64 bit issue, since I cannot reproduce it with 32-bit 4.0rc2 and Flash 10.2r152.
This issue still persists, I'm on 4.0.1 and using flash 10.2r159.
Lets move over to Plugins:Flash for further investigation.

If it needs investigation, it should be in "Core:Plugins".  The "Plugins" product is for bugs that are known to be bugs in the plugin.

The same videos work in both Opera and Chromium so I don't think it's a Flash problem, it might be a NSPluginWrapper issue.
Resolving old bugs which are likely not relevant any more, since NPAPI plugins are deprecated.
