Flash mouse buttons sometimes not working

Sometimes in Flash applications, it doesn't listen to left mouse button clicks on button controls anymore. Does anyone know a solution for this that actually works?

Many people report this problem with Youtube movies, but personally I'm a Newgrounds.com Flash game gamer, so it's even more annoying to me.

Thanks.

Re: Flash mouse buttons sometimes not working

See the Wiki page which has a section on this problem.

(There is also this is from the Ubuntu bugtracker. but I think most of the workarounds would apply to Arch as well.)

If I'm not mistaken, however, this only affects those running 32-bit flash on a 64-bit system with a wrapper. Consider installing the new beta native 64-bit flashplayer  Adobe recently released (flashplugin-prerelease in AUR). Discussion here.

Hmm, I've got 32-bit Archlinux with 32-bit flashplayer, nothing is 64-bit, and yet I have that bug too...
