Version: (using KDE 3.5.9) Installed from: Fedora RPMs http://bugzilla.redhat.com/444453 Description of problem: I've Adobe's flash player/plugin installed from their yum repository and my system is up2date. When watching a youtube video, it draws some buttons and links to it's business area at the end which used to work with konqueror and and still work with firefox. Well, the problem is that those links do not work with konqueror anymore. A another problematic example is just some flash apps like http://www.navirec.ee/flash/navirec/ where you're supposed to be able to log in with 'demo' + 'demo' pair. You can't write anything into login dialog with konqueror, but with firefox you can. I've a feeling that these two are symptoms of same bug. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdebase-3.5.9-7.fc8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open a video in youtube 2. let it end 3. try to click some of the icons/buttons in video drawing area 1. konqueror http://www.navirec.ee/flash/navirec/ 2. try to write 'demo' into user field. 3. Additional info: Note that the mouse over object is detected but clicks just don't do anything. Try the same with firefox and it works. My box is x86_64, running nspluginwrapper.i386 and related mess.
What version flash are you running? Typing about:plugins into the url bar will tell you. You have things compiled for 64bit? There are some issues with that.

comment #1 > You have things compiled for 64bit? There are some issues with that. 64bit or not, why it would work on Firefox then in this same box? It's very annoying when there are sites like this: http://www.zalman.co.kr/eng/main.asp where all browsing menus are done with flash. Yes, binary only flash plugin is a nightmare and yada yada, but life is. There are sites that use those, users can't do anything about it and we just have to live with that fact.
I am not able to reproduce this bug with kde4 trunk r814918 using: Shockwave Flash 9.0 r48 and Shockwave Flash 9.0 r124 $ uname -a Linux localhost 2.6.25-tuxonice-r4 #4 SMP Fri May 30 13:26:03 EDT 2008 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo CPU T2700 @ 2.33GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
> I am not able to reproduce this bug with kde4 trunk r814918 So, the question is: a) is it easy to track down the changes in plugin api? b) is it worth of it for 3.5.9 branch anymore? 4.x wont be replacing 3.x for quite some time yet I'm afraid.
Hello. Thanks for your report. The problem cannot be reproduced in the forthcoming KDE 4.1. Konqueror developpers now work only on KDE 4 so it is very unlikely to be fixed in the 3.5 branch. If you find other bugs please do not hesitate to open another bug report.

Flash isn't supported for 64bit systems in general: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=6b3af6c9 More fun information about flash (perhaps slightly outdated, at this point flash works for me mostly): http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/3162 I think the real question here is if this bug report is still valid for the 64bit flash wrapper in 4... Oh, and Med /is/ running 64bit (I asked): Linux kerr 2.6.25.11-0.1-default #1 SMP 2008-07-13 20:48:28 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Flash 9.0 r124 NPAPI Plugins Wrapper 0.9.91.6-Pre (20071225) kdelibs r837391 Maks, Seli: is this anything to mess with? Should this get reopened? I know how much you love to sacrifice chickens!
> 4.x wont be replacing 3.x for quite some time yet I'm afraid. In Fedora (which you're using), that "quite some time" is now only 4 months (F8 EOL).
comment #9 > In Fedora (which you're using), that "quite some time" is > now only 4 months (F8 EOL). Which was six months @2008-06-01, which still qualifies 'quite some time' for me.
