this happens to me on all the web pages that have flash objects.
and the bug is that when the context menu of theflash player is on, if I click
on the page somewhere, on the html, the browser rederects me back to the last
page visited(history: back)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.enter any page you want it doesn't matter, this is just the page you will be
send back by the error.
2.then in the same tab open a page that has a flash object on it. right click on
the flash object so that the flash player context's menu appear.
3.then, while the context menu is visible left click anywhere on the page, away
fromthe flash palyer, (for example on some html text).

Actual Results:  
this is the point where the browser is sent back automaticly.

Expected Results:  
nothing, the flash player's context menu should've disapear.

i'm using flash player version 8,0,5,0 on a Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT
5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6. 
i must say that I'm using the mouse gestures extension 1.0.1, but i don't move
my mouse in any directions while normal clicking on the html page.

Aurelian, can you reproduce that with a current Firefox 2 or 3 build and the latest Flash player?

If not, please resolve the bug as WORKSFORME.

Thanks!

In Firefox 2.0.0.6, with flash player 9.0.47.0  the bug still appears, but only when you try this with floating flash objects, like those banners that appear over the html content and after they play they disapear, hiding the div using java script.

I managed to recreat this on two different pages, that use this principle.

Besides that, i can't reproduce the original bug on all the flash objects.

I run flash player 9.0.47.0 on  Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6

Flash Player 9.0.115.0

WFM on the couple pages I tried.  Reporter, do you still see this problem with the latest Firefox 3 beta?  If not, could you please resolve this as WORKSFORME?  If you still see it with the latest Firefox 3 beta, could you provide a couple pages that you were able to reproduce this on and verify that the Steps To Reproduce are still accurate?  Thanks!

Ok, i can't recreate the bug. I think it has been fixed. Changing the status to WORKSFORME. Still i can't test it on windows anymore, so, if anyone sees the problem in windows, let me know.

Thank you for the patience.
