I have seen this issue on this page: http://www.enh.org/aboutus/billing/mga/index.asp My setup: WinXP, Firefox 1.0PR, Flashblock installed. I'll attach an image.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01". This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code. While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug (given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more reproduction information if you have it. If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved. Thank you for your help in this matter.

After one year of this problem still happening, I have a better understanding of the undesired effects. The problem should be restated so as to explain what's really happening: "There are some flash ads on some web pages that change their size while running. Initially, they are supposed to be a standard banner-like ad (say, a thin rectangular area on the top of the page). When a person moves the mouse over the banner, the bottom end of the banner rolls down, showing a more complete ad in a bigger rectangle that may overlap the contents of the page. The overlapping shouldn't be a problem, because either the ad has a close button, or it should automatically roll up again. The bug, that happens in firefox is that the flash animation already loads in it's maximum size and there's no way to shrink it." I would say that the bug is in the linux flash software. Anyway, firefox code should be checked too. I should be able to post new screenshots when the pages that I know change their ads to the problematic ones. Henrique Dante de Almeida hdante@gmail.com

In this page we can see the following things happening: 1) The ad is in it's initial state, waiting for the mouse to be moved over 2) The bottom of the ad is already rolled down showing only white (except for the gray picture that stayed on top of it) 3) It's impossible to read what's behind the ad

The mouse was moved over the picture and the ad is now in it's full state.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.2) Gecko/20060308 Firefox/1.5.0.2 I think this is part of this same bug; if you go to http://www.mlb.com, there is a lot of flash content on the page, and the drop-down menus at the top fall behind the Flash instead of over. This is only on Linux; the menus work properly on Windows.

I would like to confirm this behavior as found on http://www.ishares.com/home.jhtml as reported in issue https://bugs.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/49613 Thanks David
