I doubt anyone would be interested in this bug in FC4. Tho, IIRC, I first encountered this bug in rh9. If I can reliably duplicate it in FC4, and then in FC5 or FC6, then I will report it.

In every instance where Mozilla got hosed, switching somewhere else then switching back would show a Mozilla title bar on a blank window. This Mozilla window continues to display correctly which leads me to believe that Mozilla is still fine. It seems like something is stuck thinking that the icon I was dragging is still in the drag process, even though it has become detached from the mouse pointer.

Well that explains that.
