   OT: Strange video phenomenon

   I don't know how to diagnose this problem:   
   I use the BBC Radio player a lot under Firefox (15.0.1, 64 bit). One of   
   the components of the displayed HTML is a rectangular panel containing   
   the play/pause button, a loading/live indication and a volume slider.   
   This panel alone is visible through other windows eg KWrite if placed   
   over the Radio Player. If I minimise the Radio Player, the panel is   
   still visible through other windows even though it is not visible   
   against the blue Mandriva background. I wanted to use KSnapshot to take   
   screen shots of the problem to illustrate this phenomenon, but the   
   snapshot shows everything EXCEPT the panel - just a white space (see   
   dropbox link below). Similarly a snapshot of the KWrite window over the   
   panel does NOT contain the panel. The panel disappears when the Radio   
   Player is closed. This behaviour is not limited to one area of the screen.   
   I think the problem is in the BBC's HTML, but I would like confirmation   
   before I go into print to them.
