Version:            (using KDE 4.1.0)
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package
Compiler:          Archlinux binary package 
OS:                Linux

I have an azerty keyboard but Flash games often need aswd controls, so in KDE 3.5 I used the "KDE Keyboard Layout Switcher" for switching to qwerty to make these flash games playable to me.

In KDE 4.1, the KDE Keyboard Layout Switcher switches everything, EXCEPT FLASH APPLICATIONS!

E.G. try this game: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/452230 (just hit "pop up" or "play this game" to load and play the flash game).

In KDE 3.5, the KDE Keyboard Layout Switcher allows playing the game properly for azerty users, in KDE 4.1 not anymore.

The KDE Keyboard Layout Switcher works for everything else though (including changing how I type in this very messagebox here).

Since it worked fine in KDE 3.5, this could be a KDE 4.1 bug.
