Flash bleeding thru virtual desktops

I'm running awesome wm and using the capabilities of virtual desktop. I installed the adobe-flash player plugin. So my browser is in the second window and when I start a video and go back to screen 1, it is bleeding thru. I have nvidia installed as well. Thanks

Well it appears to be only on youtube so far. Had no issues with justin.tv. I do not think they are html5 videos so it is at least narrowed down to youtube.

I have this same problem, though now it's a frozen zombie video screen. It bleeds onto any black surface where it is located (so, onto webpages, onto the root window, the background of aterm, etc). I can't find any process controlling it, but I could move it around via moving a window that spawned next to it. It even draws into the black of text, making words hard to read.

This is really bizarre behavior. Any ideas what it might be?

Thanks,

EE

Flash & nvidia & bleeding - there's a thousand threads on this already. Example

I have the same problem with dwm and fvwm. Try to disable hardware acceleration in flash. http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html It worked for me but it is not the best solution, I think.
