  Bug first noted with Diigolet at
  http://www.slideshare.net/cliotech/diigo-2009 ; where Flash media is underlying, much of the Save Bookmark dialogue is unusable.
  
  Critically:
  
  * Cancel button does not respond to clicks.
  
  Environment
  
  * Diigolet 3.1b508
  * Safari 4 Public Beta (5528.16)
  * Mac OS X 10.5.6, Intel
  * Adobe Flash Player MAC 10,0,22,87 detected by http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15507
  
  Workaround
  
  Scroll page down and/or or re-size window, until there is no coincidence between overlying Diigo dialogue and underlying Flash content.
  
  Scope
  
  I guess that the bug may bite similarly in sites other than SlideShare. Whether the incompatibility is with Adobe's player, or the site's method of embedding/coding, I don't know, but my next stop will be YouTube.

  http://www.wuala.com/grahamperrin/Documents/diigo-public/43255-001.png shows SlideShare bugged by this issue. Menus, Cancel button etc. are ineffective.

  http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=0RvAkTuL02A suggests that YouTube use of Flash is not bitten.
  
  @ Diigo
  
  Should I contact SlideShare http://www.slideshare.net/feedback to draw attention to this issue?
  
  Or would you prefer to first look at code of Diigolet?

  > * Diigolet 3.1b508
  
  Using more recent Diigolet 3.15b23 with Adobe Flash Player 10,0,22,87 in Safari 4 Public Beta (5528.17) on Mac OS X 10.5.7, 64-bit Intel:
  
  * at http://www.slideshare.net/cliotech/diigo-2009 I can not reproduce this bug.
  
  It's possible that the fix is thanks to WebKit developers or Apple, more likely that the fix is thanks to Diigo!
