After using Flash, I can't type in Konqueror

I finally got flash working after it was only playing video with no sound, but the problem described in the title has not gone away. Basically, I will watch a youtube video, and at some point during the video, I wont be able to type anything in konqueror. I can type in a different window of konqueror, just not the window that had the flash playing in it. I can reproduce this about 50% of the time. I wish I could give more details. Any one else experiencing this?

Edit: Switched to firefox and opera, so this is is less of an issue. However if someone else is experiencing this problem I can try to work it out if someone helps.

Re: After using Flash, I can't type in Konqueror

I have the problem sometimes of exiting a page with flash playing, and the flash process still continuing to run causing all sorts of lag. I've never found the root cause of the issue, except to just kill the process manually when it happens. Next time it happens try running 'ps ax | grep libflashplayer.so' to print a list of all processes with flash running. You could also use something like top or htop to see an interactive process list to better pick out which particular process is causing the input lock.

I've also experienced this as well and just kill the page, but would like to have a more graceful way of resolving the issue.
