Clicking in flash objects partly crashes Opera 10.60

System: Arch Linux 64bit
Opera version: 10.60 64bit
Flash version: 10.1.53.64 (32bit)

Hi,
I have a problem with flash since upgrading to the new Opera version. Flash stuff works fine, until I click on a flash applet for the first time (like hitting 'pause' in youtube or buttons in flash-animated menus etc.). After that all flash-stuff is completely unresponsive and also various other click-events do not get noticed by the browser (clicking into the address bar of an old or new tab, selecting a mail in Opera Mail). Other events (clicking on links, closing a Tab, opening the menu) work normally.

This happens with and without "export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1". With this line in /usr/lib/opera/operapluginwrapper it usually happens before clicking on a flash applet for the first time, without it only happens after the first click.
I checked the paths in about:plugins, Opera uses the correct libflashplayer.so, not the Firefox-nspluginwrapped one.

Opera 10.10 worked fine with this flash version GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS activated. I finally thought my Flash-related Opera woes where over ...

Did anyone else experience this problem after upgrading Opera?

Re: Clicking in flash objects partly crashes Opera 10.60

I tried older versions of libflashplayer.so (9.xx) with the same result.

More details on the error: Selecting mails will display them, but there are not selected in the sense that hitting 'K' would mark it as read for example. Everything that looks remotely like an edit-field (the addressbar, password/usrname field in this forum and the like) does not recognize clicks. Ctrl+Enter doesn't work either.

Using same versions, but for 32-bit.
Same problem with YouTube pause/play.

Hey,
I started a thread in the opera forums, there are a few other people with this problem. Do you happen to use either OpenBox or Awesome as your window manager?

I'm using Awesome, but also Openbox sometimes - will check whether it happens there too.

OK. So far all the people I found who had this error used Openbox, and I use OB and Awesome.

I got tired of this and switched to Firefox, but now I've got tired of it being slow... I want to switch back, but this clicking thing is a major issue!
