Adobe is refusing to fix the bug--or perhaps I should say, they're sticking their heads in the sand, claiming they can't reproduce it, in spite of numerous reports on their own bug tracker and across the Internet:

A few days ago it was fine--now, after Flash was upgraded, everything's blue.

Disabling hardware acceleration is not a solution--it's simply a workaround for a major regression. And it seems that the "trace patch" is an "ugly hack", so it's probably not eligible for distributing in Ubuntu.

Something's got to be done, though. We all know that Adobe is abandoning Flash on Linux, but are they really going to leave us with this broken mess? Is this going to be their "farewell"? Can Ubuntu and other distros exert some pressure to get them to fix it? If all it really is is that the color planes are reversed, it would probably take all of 5 minutes for one guy to fix it--probably a one-line patch.
