Description

[thailycuong1202]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/33.0.1750.152 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

-Create a simple app which contains GeckoView. e.g https://github.com/guardianproject/orfox 
- Use latest version of gecko_library and asset
- Load a flash game http://static.nickjr.com/game/assets/wubb_robots/widget.swf



Actual results:

- I cant click on any button
- The animation is stopped
(To resume I have to pan and zoom in/out. Looks like the touch event is stuck somewhere)



Expected results:

- It should allow me to click on flash game like as on Firefox
- Animation should run normally

I've added a demo here for you guys to check https://github.com/cuongthai/FlashOnGecko
This method in GeckoAppShell is not called after I touch the flash 
@WrapElementForJNI
    public static void notifyDefaultPrevented(final boolean defaultPrevented) {
    }
However, after I zoom-in/out on the layerview, I see a serial of missing events going out. So I guess, the event queue is stuck somewhere.

Ah, ok. That indicates that it's likely some form of bug 957694 biting us again. Ugh. What device are you using?

I'm using HTC One M7 (4.4.2).

Flash is going away (bug 1381916), so there's no point in pursuing this further.
