I noticed with amusement that my [youtube question][1] from almost a year ago (!!!) was closed today. Our esteemed [Mr. Edwards][2] deemed it offtopic. According to him this should rather be a bug report.

I politely disagree. As he himself stated: 

> it's a closed source flash issue, so that [meaning a bug report] might not help much.

So I think it's a valid question since I was looking for a work around. The bug has already been reported without any effect and there will most certainly be no bugfix from Adobe in the future (considering Adobe announced the current version would be the last flash released for linux).

No hard feelings, I don't know you, Mr. Edwards, but my humble opinion is, that you have been a bit too eager here. Not that I'd expect an answer to my question or that it was particularly precious to me.

Thanks for your time.
