User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3 So basically when I have any flash content displayed on the page, and then I switch workspaces and come back to the workspace with Firefox, the left click acts as a right click until I press control and click, and then the left click is restored. I also have a similar issue also with Komodo Edit. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start flash content (eg: youtube video) 2. Switch to another space 3. Switch back to space with firefox open 4. Left click on the flash content (it triggers a right click) 5. control + left click on flash 6. Left click again on flash (left click is restored) Actual Results: After I perform the steps above I am able to use my flash content normally. Expected Results: I am expected to be able to click normally on the flash content. For example when I switch back to the workspace with Firefox on YouTube I should be able to click to pause. Instead I click and it triggers a right click.
What version of flash are you running? also, does this happen in Firefox safe mode.
@Tyler I am running Flash 10,0,32,18 I just tested in Safe Mode and it also happens there.
I'm not sure if it's a Flash specific issue or a Mozilla issue, because the same thing happens in Komodo Edit. I would switch spaces, and when I return to Komodo Edit I cannot click anywhere, as though the mouse was disabled, and then I do a control + click and the mouse works again.
Komodo uses the same internal engine as Firefox. So it could possibly be something with Firefox. Does this happen with safari?
@Tyler No it's fine in Safari.
