Certain flash-animations seems to cause weird errors when started through firefox or konqueror. However, the issues are different from each other.
In Konqueror they will cause khtml to freeze up most of the times (Not always though) but in Firefox it will display a transparent square in the shape of the flash animation in the top left corner of the screen that is persistant. it will still be there if I switch desktop/viewport and I can not see what goes on under it.
An example can be seen here:

In this case I'm on a completely different desktop/viewport, but the "transparent" square left behind by flash is still there. If I close the application that started it or kill npviewer the square will go away but it is highly annoying.

I'm not sure, but it could be related to me running versions compiled for AMD64 and flash has had a tendency to act up on me in the past but not like this, just by random crashes and stuff.
And yea, you guessed it flash is of course not a amd64 app but just running "emulated".

Would be cool if someone could replicate this error and/or solve it. But to be honest I'm not sure I can blamde KDE for it. It does, however, cause konqueror to crash.
I suspect there is something wrong with flash and KDE just interprets it a bit weirdly.

Cheers guys
