           Summary: Right click events not fired when element over embed
                    object.
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525.x (Safari 3.2)
          Platform: Macintosh
               URL: http://umaidevelopment.com/tmp/safari-embed-overlay/
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P2
         Component: Plug-ins
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: jimhead at gmail.com


There seems to be no way to detect a right-click at all on an an html element
when it is sitting above an embed (eg flash) object.

This is inconsistent with WinFF,WinIE, MacosXFF.

I have attempted to product a 'simple as possible' test case here:
http://umaidevelopment.com/tmp/safari-embed-overlay/

Right click on the yellow area sitting over the white area, and you get an
event.
Right click on the yellow area sitting over the blue area (flash) and you get
nothing (either onmouseup or oncontextmenu or both should fire)..

Left clicks and middle clicks work fine.

Although this might appear trivial, for the web application I am working on
where the bulk of the functionality is delivered through a plug-in, this is a
critical/blocking issue.

Many thanks,
