Weird graphical bug after flashplayer upgrade

After the flashplayer upgrade to 10.2.152.27-1 there is a strange bug with flash objects.

The currently opened flash video/app/whatever renders itself not only where it should, but also somewhere else on the screen, on top of much everything else.

I think it has to do with the new GPU acceleration (as I understood this is a new feature, right?).

I use an NVidia graphics card (GeForce 8400 GS)...

Here's a picture showing the problem. I had to take it with my camera because a screenshot looks completely normal.

MOD EDIT -  Use image posting guidelines from the forum rules ---- Inxsible

As you can see, the black square on the top left is the problem. As I noticed, it draws over anything that should have been completely white (as the background of pcmanfm, like in the picture)

The only thing I can do to remove that thingy is to restart the X server...

Has anyone had the same problem? How to fix it?

Re: Weird graphical bug after flashplayer upgrade

I have the same problem. This is on 64bit, using the flashplugin package from the multilib repo; NVidia as well. The fix was to disable hardware acceleration (run some flash app, rightclick, options), and reboot (but i guess restarting the X server should be enough).
