Screenshot of malfunction/distortion

Description of problem:
The graphics of some flash content is distorted by random white rectangles in Firefox 4 with Adobe Flash plugin. I tried both 32bit with nspluginwrapper and native 64bit "Square" version.
See attached screenshot which is related to http://www.wolfram.com/broadcast/screencasts/mathematicabasics/ and have a look at http://www.pixeloptics.com/ where the distortion also appears.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Flash 10.3 d162 (64bit "Square" OR 32bit with nspluginwrapper)
Firefox 4.0-0.19.rc1.fc15

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to http://www.wolfram.com/broadcast/screencasts/mathematicabasics/
2. start video, if it doesn't automatically
3.
  
Actual results:
Flash content flickering of white rectangles.

Expected results: Just smooth video playback.

Additional info:
On same system with google-chrome-stable (using same flash plugin), this issue does not occur. Other users on Fedora 14 with different Firefox 4 builds don't have this issue. So it must be a problem with this Firefox 4-Package!

Unfortunately, the issue here happened in the binary-only flash player for which we don't have any source code, so unfortunately we cannot help you with it.



Closing as CANTFIX (because that's our situation)

Comment 2 tuxor 2011-03-18 10:34:13 UTC
But since this problem does only occur when combining a 64bit-Kernel, Firefox 4 and Gnome 3, you can't blame the flashplugin only. Other users with Fedora 15, 64bit with Fluxbox and Firefox 4 report, that those errors don't appear, and I myself can confirm, that these errors don't appear when using Google Chrome but leaving the rest of my system untouched!
