Description

[John Chen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.12) Gecko/20100824 Firefox/3.5.12 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.12) Gecko/20100824 Firefox/3.5.12 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

Once the mouse is released outside the browser, moving the mouse back in to the browser makes Flash thinks that the mouse is still down.
 
 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run DividedLayoutTest.html in firefox
2. Click and drag the center divider from the Flash content and release it outside the browser window
3. move mouse back around the Flash content.

Actual Results:  
 The icon for the divider remains as the selected icon, and moving the mouse, no matter where it is, will move the divider. The only way to get it to release is to click the mouse inside of the Flex application window area.

Expected Results:  
 The MOUSE_UP_SOMEWHERE event would get fired and caught.
 


  Click inside of the Flex application window to get the mouse to release control of the divider.

Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

How about with a new, empty profile? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile

Does the issue occur with the latest version?

This bug is very much alive.

You can see it live in the following example:

http://fraticelli.info/temp/mouseFuncTest.html.

Upon having an embedded flash content with wmode="opaque",
When you hold the mouse down and you release it outside the flash content, the mouseUp event is not dispatched (as opposed to other browsers).
Affects on all versions of flash player and all version of firefox.
