Now that Flash ads are common, it's distracting when I browse a page (at
slashdot.org, www.oreillynet.com) using keyboard and get stuck at the
advertisement. When the ad hits the mouse cursor, the ad grabs the keyboard
events and I have to move the mouse cursor off the ad for the keyboard to work
again. 

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
Find a page with a Flash ad. Move the mouse cursor over it. Try Page Down or
cursor down.

Actual Results:  The page doesn't scroll.

Expected Results:  The page should scroll. Maybe I should click the Flash app if
I want to type into it.

The Flash plugin version is "Shockwave Flash 5.0 r47"
