I don't know if this is related, but it seems possible.
When newsreading, if I try to mark a whole group read, Mozilla 9.2 build
2001071604 on RH Linux 7.1 blocks everything until finished - even the
Gnome desktop (although a clock display keeps updating, so some level of
interrupt handling is continuing.
Is this related to the above observation by Stewart Allen? Is complete
blocking a bug? Required by the logic of the operation? Otherwise
explanable?
