Steps to reproduce:
1. Make sure youtube.com and ytimg.com are not in whitelist.
2. In General tab of NoScript Options, 'Temporarily allow top-level sites by default (base second level domains)' is ALLOWED. In Embeddings tab, make sure 'ask for permission when temporarily unblocking an object' is CHECKED.
3. Go to youtube.com and start any video (or use this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBiQE4hjOsk). You should see that the youtube video flash player is blocked with the NoScript icon.
4. Click on it. You should see the 'Temporarily allow...' dialog box with a LOT of text. Also, the tooltip with the same text will appear, obscuring the dialog box. The tooltip does not go away even when you move your mouse away. The tooltip appears immediately on clicking the blocked flash player even if you move your mouse away immediately.
5. The only way to make it go away is to have the obscured permission dialog box in focus and press Escape or Enter.

Can someone confirm?

Works for me.

Unless it is a FF 8 issue.
Does it also happen to you with FF 5 ?

Doesn't happen on Windows (where I am also using v8 Nightly). Can anyone using the nightly on x86_64 Linux comment/confirm this bug?

I suspect a bug with the GTK theme or widgetry.
Does it happen with other link titles as well?
Does switching to a different theme (not Persona!) help?

It was a theme issue. I switched the theme twice (to go back to the same theme) and the issue no longer exists. Thanks guys.

Heh, looks like I spoke too soon. The problem is back. I'll try updating Compiz to see if it helps things.
