I Cannot Click On Flash In Ubuntu : Solved

If you're experiencing the current annoying bug with Adobe Flash not registering mouse clicks (e.g. on YouTube, etc) then you'll be pleased to hear that there is a relatively easy fix (for now).



I must thank MrPantucci for making me aware of this. The solution comes from the official bug report for this issue.
