Could you be more specific? What "about Flash page"? How do you get to it? If safe-mode fixes the problem, it's unlikely to be related to bug 596451.

It works when dom.ipc.plugins.enabled is set to false.
Summary: Flash doesn't show its version in the about Flash page → Flash doesn't show its version in the about Flash page when OOPP is enabled
I cannot reproduce your issue. Trunk builds show 10,1,85,3 for me. Perhaps you have flashblock/adblock or something similar installed which is blocking the Flash embed used by that webpage to check the version?
Clean profile.
Also, as I said in the description, 20101110 works.

I can confirm this issue with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:2.0b8pre) Gecko/20101111 Firefox/4.0b8pre SeaMonkey/2.1b2pre

The safemode disables all addons, jit(TM/JM) and the graphic hardware acceleration.

disabling my installed addon (adblock) and both JITs didn't change anything but setting gfx.direct2d.disabled to true makes it work !

Nominating for blocking. The version issue isn't a big thing, but the bug can affect the rendering of other flash apps too.

So dom.ipc.plugins.enabled;false or gfx.direct2d.disabled;true helps or both?
Is this limited to D2D10 and not happening on D2D9?

> So dom.ipc.plugins.enabled;false or gfx.direct2d.disabled;true helps or both?

There are two options to make the version visible:

1. Disable D2D (gfx.direct2d.disabled;true)
2. Disable OOPP (dom.ipc.plugins.enabled;false)

I think D2D9 doesn't exist. D2D was introduced with DirectX 10.
Disabling Direct3D 10 layers also helps. So, four options:

1. Disable D2D (gfx.direct2d.disabled;true)
2. Disable OOPP (dom.ipc.plugins.enabled;false)
3. Use D3D9 layers (layers.prefer-d3d9;true)
4. Disable layers acceleration (layers.accelerate-all;false)

Doing one of these four options "fixes" the problem.

I wonder if https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611206 will fix this one also ?

It has a patch and r+ , wish someone would land it...
You'll note that bug still needed tests and had review comments to fix...
Bug 611206 is fixed now, is this still a problem in builds containing that fix?

> Bug 611206 is fixed now, is this still a problem in builds containing that fix?

No, 611206 didn't fix this bug.
I expect this is a straight dup of bug 612686, which is mostly a dup of bug 601064.
Depends on: 601064
Bug 601064 appeared in Minefield 3.7pres (see comment 3 of that bug) while this appeared in the 20101111 build (4.0pre8), so how can this be a dupe of 601064?

Not seeing that here. I re-enabled dom.ipc.plugins.enabled and the flash version disappeared.  Now I'm on https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/0830d8f97936

Tested with fresh profile, and not seeing the info in the Version box - something in my cache must of fooled me - sorry :(
The text is there, it's just being rendered white. You can see this clearly in the embedded YouTube player, where the colour behind the text is grey (see attachment).

I toggled "Options > Advanced > General > Use Hardware Acceleration" on and off again and could see the text properly, even though Direct2D was active. When I restarted Firefox it was back to white on white though.
Bas, could you look into this? Seems related to hardware acceleration...

Considering the regression range I'm guessing bsmedberg might have a better idea of what's going on here.
Not really, other than my comments above. I think we need to fix bug 601064 and then retest some of these other bugs.
This bug is unrelated to Direct2D. It occurs when D3D10 layers -and- OOPP is enabled.

This is fixed by taking into account non-alpha surfaces. I've updated the patches on 615316 to do this because we first mentioned having to do this in that review trace.
