Description Michal Kochanowicz 2003-05-05 13:39:54 UTC 
Screenplay:
1. press middle mouse button to invoke some fancy way of scrolling, where
you have some "central point" marker and entire page is being scrolled in
the direction paralel to the vector created by the "central point" and
mouse cursor (does it have a name?)
2. let the galeon open popup window with content retrived over https
(squirrel mail new mail notify in my case)
3. the popup openes message box to tell you that the connection is secure
4. you're screwed up. you cant click anything on screen because scrolling
grabbed the mouse pointer. you can't close the message box. keyboard also
seems to be dead. only way is to switch to console and kill the galeon.

regards

I can confirm this behavior on Debian unstable with Galeon 1.3.5. I
let galeon show me incoming cookies and when I am auto-scrolling and a
cookie calls for acceptance or rejection I experience the same catch
22. Happens almost daily with heavy browsing. Sometimes I cannot even
switch to a different console and have to ssh into the box and kill X
and not only galeon-bin. - Apart from that: Thanks for the great work!

You can also press ctrl-alt-/ or ctrl-alt-* if you add these two lines in your X
config in the serverflags section

Option "AllowDeactivateGrabs" "True"
Option "AllowClosedownGrabs" "True"
