Description David Sinclair 2003-06-28 23:57:44 UTC
Galeon-CVS Sun Jun 29, 00:23.

I was doing alot of reading on a page and clicked the third mouse button to
bring up the arrows(it's a static circle with arrows in all four directions
you can move, i hope i make some sense). I had clicked it and had moved the
mouse a little bit down so the text had started to slowly scroll and i had
been doing this for a couple of seconds. Suddenly a dialog window appeared
which looked like this:

Galeon

  !  The operation timed out when
     attempting to contact pageone.pointclark.net

                                           [ OK ]

This was a site I had been trying to reach a couple of times which was
"waiting" in the background. The thing is, the mouse was still in the 4
arrows scroll state and there where no way to interact with anything on the
system(not via keyboard either) the only way out was <CTRL><ALT><BACKSPACE>
to get out of XFree86.
