GtkLauncher (GTK2) with Google Play

Google Play Music page is only partially rendered (see attached screenshot of GtkLauncher) if Flash plugin is installed (version 11.1.102). It affects only GTK+ 2 port (GTK+ 3 port works fine). I've tried version 1.7.91 from Ubuntu 12.04 Beta 1 and nightly r111120 tarball (with ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-gtk=2.0 --enable-introspection), the bug is reproducible with both versions on my 64bit machine. This issue was not present in version 1.6.3.

The bug is not specific to Google Play, it also affects Grooveshark (http://grooveshark.com) (and maybe other websites using flash).

Reproducibility also depends on size of the window (less reproducible with a default window size, more reproducible if window is maximized before entering affected website).

I'm increasing priority according to Bug Reporting Guidelines ("If you know the bug is a regression, ie. something is wrong which wasn't wrong in previous versions of WebKit, you can set this to P1.").

Going to close this since the version of WebKitGTK+ is old enough that I don't think we can fix this. Please reopen if you notice this issue with a more recent version.
