[Laszlo-dev] workaround for (in)famous http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-40

[Henry Minsky]

That's great, thanks! I wonder if we should have a browser  quirk detector
that applies this
patch in the SWF LFC's if it detects the user is operating in Linux?

It looks like Adobe has been made aware of the urgency of fixing this in the
player so
hopefully this will get fixed in the next Flash player release, at least.
