Details

(Whiteboard: [PL2:NA]) 

build 0220 trunk ; linux

steps:
launch browser, go to the url
A flash movie titled 'Text Field Test' open up
Move the mouse inside the flash movie, observe that even when the pointer is 
over the textfield, the 'arrow' does not change to 'I' ... 

On windows it changes fine...but does not revert back to the 'arrow' mode after 
the mouse is moved away from textfields.
This happens on Mac too, changing platform to all.

Hardware: PC → All
While the issue is cosmetic in nature, it is a fairly important bug with 
respect to Flash since it results in an incorrect and confusing user experience.

It also does not work well on Mac. It changes to "I" but fails to change back to
arrow when you leave the text field. Could be two different things.
i see it on mac (just like u mentioned). should I file a new bug?
I have opened bug 156817 specifically to deal with this problem on the Mac.
Target Milestone: mozilla1.2beta → mozilla1.0.2
this is not mozilla issue,
mozilla knows nothing about flash text fields, the flash plugin suppose to
control the pointer over its content, nothing we can fix here.
ns4.x & opera5 has the same behavior.
