Timeline is missing zoom in / out etc in Safari when using Plugin Customs Flash blocker extension

I have just started to try out Splunk, running on my Mac OS X Lion (10.7.1) machine. I'm using Safari (5.1), and have the Plugin Customs Flash blocking Safari extension installed.

The Timeline Flash applet appears, but the buttons to the right of "Timeline:", for zoom in / out etc are missing. This confused me for a little while until I realised the extension is blocking part of the applet. I can resolve the issue by turning off the extension or using a different browser, but I'd prefer not to.

I've attempted to add Splunk to the extensions whitelist by adding mitsu.lan and mitsu.lan:8000 (Mitsu is my local machine), but perhaps I need to add something else as well? Any clues, anyone?

Ashley.

Both the blue links for zoom in/out and the graph are rendered by a single module called FlashTimeline. Most likely when the extension prevents the Flash from loading an uncaught exception or some other interference prevents the rest of the module's initialization, thus preventing the links from appearing.

I don't think you have any good options here besides turning off the flash-blocking extension.
