Description Jörg Wunsch 2003-10-29 12:37:32 UTC 
When using auto-scroll mode (nice feature btw.!), and a popup is
opening (e. g. a cookie confirmation request), the X server
completely blocks.

Supposedly, both the new popup as well as the auto-scroll hold a
grab on the input device(s), mutually blocking any activity.
The only remedy so far is to log in outside the X server, and
kill galeon, which frees the grab from the X server.

Idea for a fix: defer any popups until after the auto-scroll has
been released.
