title: $(window).mouseup handler in a Chrome extension is breaking Flash
body: <p>I'm working on a Google Chrome extension that monitors mouse events. For some reason the following javascript code in the extension's <a href="http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/content_scripts.html" rel="nofollow">content script</a> is causing embedded Flash content to break:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$(window).mouseup(function() {
      // do benign stuff
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If you mousedown inside a Flash element, it never registers the mouseup and it appears as though you're still holding your mouse button down even though you've let go. At first I thought it was some kind of event bubbling issue, that this method was swallowing the event, so I tried returning true (and false for that matter) but it didn't seem to have any effect. Any ideas?</p>
