This is not a new problem. It persist for several versions of flash etc. I 
do not know what exaacly is causing this, wherether it is X screen 
handling, gecko or flash itself. You can usually workaround it by usign 
different navigation path or just blindly clicking on "invisible" menu.

This is definitely not a FC issue. Most probably you should blame 
macromedia/adobe. (I've heard something about flash 9 comming to linux, 
you can check it.)
