For those of you just joining the thread, the bug is that if you hit Ctrl-r
to reload the document and get prompted "REPOST DATA?" and if you hit the
space bar on OK or tab-enter quickly or click at the same time, sound keeps
playing fine, you can move the cursor but you are not able to click on
anything or keyboard out.  In fact, if I hit Caps-Lock or NumLock the
keyboard light doesn't even register.

So far it is just Galeon.

I think I tried Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and your suggestion of Ctrl-Alt-F1 or F2
but I shall have to try that again if Galeon bombs out.  Thanks for the tip!

I've had the same bug with other GTK apps (Pan), although I'm not
conviced that it is a GTK bug, to be clear. Also, it does not crash the
system. You can ctrl-alt-f2 to another tty and login and kill the
process.

If you think it's a bug with the Galeon code, you should fill out a bug
report and send it to the developers. That sounds like a pretty serious
bug, and they'd certianly want to know about it.

> Somewhat reproducible...

How reproducible is it? I couldn't reproduce it... what version of
mozilla, gtk, galeon, and FreeBSD are you running?

> Has anyone else witness this or something similar with Mozilla?

Do you also get this problem with Mozilla, or just with Galeon?

Curious...

Show-stopping Galeon bug!

2002-11-12 Thread Peter Leftwich
If you use the Galeon browser, be careful or mindful of the following bug
that has actually crashed *look of awe!* my system 3 or 4 times now.

Somewhat reproducible...

If you press Ctrl-r to refresh the loaded URL and a dialog appears asking
to REPOST form data and you either hit the Enter key or spacebar or click
OK at the same time (something frantic like that, or hold down Ctrl-r and
press Enter) you will still be able to move the mouse around (clicking does
nothing) but the keyboard will be ignored (Alt-tab, Esc, C-A-BKSP, Ctrl-\,
Ctrl-. etc) and pressing the "NumLock" or "CapsLock" keys will not light up
their LEDs.  Dead in the water not in the water though.

Has anyone else witnessed this?  I had an mp3 playing on "xmms" player and
it continued to play fine.  Because of the crash, (technically not a crash,
but what do you call being isolated from all input means such as mouse and
keyboard?) I was forced to press my unit's Reset button (I waited until the
mp3 finished playing due to HDD access).

Has anyone else witness this or something similar with Mozilla?
