Strange 'floating' Java Player

This is a very strange bug I've encountered.
It has only happened once, and I honestly have no idea how it could have.
As you can see in the screenshot, It even moves over the window frame.
I am using Chrome 4.0.249.64 (35722) beta, on XP pro SP3, running on an Intel Latitude D820.
It happened on this project: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/billyedward/868262
Below is a screenshot:

Re: Strange 'floating' Java Player

Did you just install the beta? Or did you keep it for a long time?

You mean of Chrome? I had that beta for at least 2 months, with no trouble.

Re: Strange 'floating' Java Player

I really can't say. What version of java do you have?

The latest, as far as I know... I haven't found a way to actually check yet.

Re: Strange 'floating' Java Player

If it happens in 3 different browsers this can only mean one thing: It's Java.
Ah, the fun of references

Re: Strange 'floating' Java Player

Probably just a random glitch - it hasn't happened to me before, and I also use chrome..
