This bug is nothing related to flash-browser communication problem, it is the different render behavior of Flash player in Windows and MAC, see the picture below (click to see original size):
I have put a box with round corner outside the panel, it can render in Windows, but cannot in MAC. The structure is consist of Application > Canvas1 > Canvas2 > Panel> Module Loader > Module > Canvas3 > Canvas4 > Box, the position of Box is outside the Panel, I have set clipContent=false in Module, Canvas3, Canvas4.
Panel will clipContent, therefore, the behavior in MAC should be correct, Windows is wrong. Since I am developed in Windows, I does not aware the problem until I was checked the site in MAC.
When I try to create a more simplified version to reproduce bug in Windows and MAC, but I can’t, Flash Player behavior correctly is both platform, content outside Panel have clipped. So it may be involved other complicated factor of my large Flex project. But I cannot put extra time to investigate this annoyed bug.
As a developer, do not trust Adobe! Flash Player is not must be cross-platform as you think!

First of all, to call it a bug the 2 platforms should both be put in the same situation.
In your case the first player has the “Account” selected where the second points to “Seller” in the top menu. So my guess is that it is probably a programmers bug, rather than a cross platform issue.
If it is indeed a cross platform issue, submit it to Adobe with source code to reproduce the bug, I’m sure they will look into it.
