Open another tab with CTRL-T, then load any website (yahoo.com for example). Switch back and forth between nba.com and yahoo.com. You will be able to switch tabs back and forth for some time. However, once the flash slide show on main page changes or loads, it becomes impossible to switch from nba.com to yahoo.com Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Load nba.com 2.Open new tab with CTRL-T, then load any website 3.Switch back and forth Actual Results: Stays stuck on nba.com for less than a minute. Expected Results: Not get stuck(?)
Most likely because of the flash ads on that page, that seem to eat all timer events.

Is this an issue on trunk? Esp. with darin's event patch?

Flash with wmode=transparent is currently broken on trunk because of cairo, see bug 329766 (and dependancie). So I can't test this. Bug 291740 has a good testcase for this.

Feel free to renominate if it's actually shown to be a problem on the trunk.
