144827 - window drags when clicking/dragging in Shockwave application

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 152978

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

The URL listed is only one of a number of sites that exhibit this problem.  When
interacting with a Shockwave application that requires mouse clicking or
dragging, after a while the computer will start trying to drag a lasso of the
working area.  What I mean is that you play the Shockwave game, the pieces move
around just fine, then suddenly when you click (or drag) and go to move the
mouse, it'll act like you've lassoed the entire window and are trying to drag
it.  Opening a new browser window and closing it, or closing another existing
window, makes the problem disappear.  This problem appears randomly, and it may
take many minutes of using the Shockwave app before it appears, but it WILL
appear.  The daily jigsaw puzzle at Shockwave's website also exhibits this
problem, as well as the "Ball Chuckin' Challenge" at Comedy Central's "Let's
Bowl" site.

This problem did NOT occur with 0.99, but did occur with 1.0RC1

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Play the game
2.After a while, a lasso of the open window will appear when you move the mouse
3.

Actual Results:  Every time the mouse was clicked and you moved it (either
dragging or not), a lasso of the open window would move with the mouse.

Expected Results:  Not created a lasso!

Shockwave plugin is version 5.0r41, and was copied from previous
Mozilla/Netscape install folders.

confirming bug on os x.

time playing doesnt seem to play a factor, simply start playing the jigsaw 
game, then click on the desktop, then click back on the game.  after you have 
done this, within a few piece moves, the piece will start to move and create a 
large square lasso, and the piece will then stop moving.  I know this is 
difficult to explain, please let me know if you dont understand, and I will 
epxlain it again.
