Public bug reported: I'm using - Ubuntu Linux Feisty Fawn 7.04 amd64, kernel 2.6.20-16-generic, Gnome desktop - processor Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 - graphics card msi nvidia NX7300GT
I've installed mozilla-plugin-gnash as there's no alternative without using the 32-bit version of Mozilla Firefox. I then ran mozilla firefox. Most flash websites show fine, but in tinypic.com there's something going on. This bug has been reappearing every single time I tried to upload something. Here's what I did: - visited http://tinypic.com - uploaded a png or gif or jpg image - wait for a while - when it shows the links of the uploaded image, click on one (any of the three) input boxes or the button that says "copy". The bad result: It pops up various odd windows (either one or two in my case to be exact). These "windows" appear to have a "grayish" border instead of the metacity one and are enormously slowing down the computer, to a point that when I click on something, it doesn't allow it. Normally, when a user without gnash clicks on the input boxes containing the image links, it would simply highlight the link inside the input box, without popping up I believe the problematic package is either gnash or mozilla-plugin-gnash, because, when I removed/uninstalled the package, the problem disappeared. The only way so far to stop this continuous slow-down is to hit ctrl-alt-F1, login, and killall -9 gnash or killall -9 firefox-bin to stop this. I'm currently reattempting to install mozilla-plugin-gnash. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- tinypic.com - firefox - gnash flash opens bogus windows, slows down computer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139965 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
