Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

The cursor in text field blinks very fast on Flash movie transation effects.
When the Flash movie is still, the cursor blinks normally. But when the Flash
movie is showing any transition effects (from one image to other etc.) the
cursor blinks very very fast.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go the URL http://www.airtelworld.com
2. Wait till the page the completely loaded and click inside the USERNAME text
field.
3. Just watch the cursor blinking when the Flash movie is still, and when the
Flash movie is transitioning one image to another.

Also when the cursor is blinking very fast on the transition of Flash movie, the
history of the text field (shown when double-clicking inside the textfield or by
typing some text) is not visible until the transition of the image is completed.

1. it'll probably do the same in IE
2. your taskmanager will probably show high CPU usage

it's the flash to blame

probably a dupe

Dupe of Bug 243718? The same does happen in IE.

Comment 4

[Peter van der Woude [:Peter6]]

not a dupe of that one, 

and yes, it does the same in IE.
Not in Opera though

CPU usage peaks 100% for all 3 though

this is really a flash/Macromedia problem as it happens in IE/FF/Opera
Nothing we can do preventing the swf eating up processortime
