I have seen the issue with any Flash content I encountered.

But to reproduce it, as far as I know you need to be using one of the affected Intel graphics chipsets. The machine I was reporting from has an 845G chipset. It has also been reported for 855G and 865G (see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2132368, and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1178982 Comment #21).

In addition, from what I have read all of the affected machines are Dell's, but that may be a simple consequence of the popularity of those Dell PC's. (I have 4 Dell Dimension 2400's here and several more near cousins.)

In my thread on the Lubuntu email list, one regular on the list said "all of my older Dell machines have the problem." (OK, that's verging toward hearsay.)
