271441 - Flash element in floated element loses focus

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Floats, defect)

Description

[Anne (:annevk)]

If open the URI in Mozilla/Firefox you can click on the links. However, if you
scroll down, and then up, you can no longer click on the right link. This one is
inside a floated element. If you shift focus of the page (tab) and back it'll
work. It'll also work if you click multiple times.

Looks a bit similar to bug 247280. It happens probably also only when
wmode="opaque" (or "transparent") is set.

Hmm.. this worksforme in a 2004-12-05-09 Linux SeaMonkey trunk build...  Is this
windows-only?  Or am I doing something wrong?  What are the _exact_ steps to
reproduce (including which of the 4+ scrolling methods we have is being used)?

The bug does not occur when setting the wmode attribute on the embed element to
"window" or "", the solution proposed in the bug Martijn Wargers linked to.
Similar (in that they use this solution) bug reports are:
  * bug{247280}
  * bug{255636}
  * bug{266933}
  * bug{267599}

this bug also occurs when the flash movie is inside a <div 
style="overflow:auto|hidden|scroll"/>, and only when the 
wmode="opaque|transparent".

Comment 7

[Peter van der Woude [:Peter6]]

removed keyword testcase, there isn't one
removed url because the link has been dead for quite a while

Making possible related bugs clickable: bug 247280, bug 255636, bug 266933 and
bug 267599 and restoring testcase URI.

This is still a problem with current 1.8.1 branch builds and current trunk builds.
