User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0b6) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b6

On almost all BBC pages there are embedded flash clips.
I have noticed that if you scroll any of these pages then the embedded flash player stops repainting correctly.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/11446978
2. Scroll the flash player out of view by scrolling all the way to the bottom
3. Scroll it back into view - it won't paint properly.
Actual Results:  
Flash Player doesn't repaint correctly.

Expected Results:  
Should repaint properly.

Attached image showing the problem.

Also, I discovered that if you switch to a new tab and back, the painting is fixed, so it seems to be a scrolling only problem.

This is fixed in nightly builds, so the problem should be gone in beta 7. Thanks for the report.
