1207215 - Mouse pointer flickers in Flash object with wmode transparent

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1199892

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[tilo]

Attachment: mousebug.zip

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/7.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E; rv:11.0) like Gecko

Steps to reproduce:

Set html body's cursor style to "move" (here only for demonstrating the strange behaviour) and the Flash param "wmode" to "transparent". Use different cursors in the Flash-Application. (see attached zip)


Actual results:

Firefox prefers in "transparent"-mode to show the cursor-setting of the HTML-body (resp. of the browser). But not consequently, instead, the pointer-icon flickers between browser-cursor and Flash-cursor when mouse is moving. By clicking and moving at the same time, the Flash-cursor appears correctly. 


Expected results:

Firefox should not be in conflict with mouse-pointer settings of the Flash-plugin and should give priority to the plugin.
