Started happening a few days ago after I updated my minefield build. When I go to youtube or grooveshark all other tabs or bars do not recognize keyboard input. For grooveshark keyboard input still works in the grooveshark tab, for youtube it is inconsistent. Updated to the newest flash player for ubuntu from the adobe website to check if that fixed the problem but it did not. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a few tabs open
2. Open grooveshark, log in, start playing a song
3. Try and get another tab to accept keyboard input. For me, even shortcuts like ctrl + t stopped working. 
Actual Results:  
Nothing besides the grooveshark tab accepted keyboard input

Expected Results:  
Other tabs and bars (like url bar, search bar, etc) should be unaffected. 

Sometimes (although not consistently) if I open up pidgin and send a message to someone keyboard input kicks back in for everything, but the minute I visit the grooveshark tab (or w/e tab is using flash at the moment) the keyboard input in the other tabs kicks out again.
