Hi,

Yesterday came a huge update regarding the kernel (2.6.32-358.2.1) and
the X (xorg and libs).

System is SL 6.3, 64 bit.

Since this update the sandbox windows cannot be resized with Firefox. I
run FF in sandbox with this command:

sandbox -i ~/.mozilla/plugins -t sandbox_net_t -X -- firefox

AFAIK the ability to resize an X sandbox window is a special patch from
TUV which therefore makes this ability to be available only on RHEL
(and so SL) and not on Fedora. This one came with an update when the
system version was at 6.2. Before that it was not available.

Another regression I seem to have noticed is that the adobe flash
plugin crashes or simply doesn't behave properly. Sometimes the flash
area on the web page stays blank on some specific sites.

I tested these in FF with an empty profile too, but the same happens.
Didn't have any problem before yesterday.

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!


Andras
