Hello: When I use netscape 4.72, when I pull down a menu, netscape freezes, and the X-windows desktop stops accepting events. This occurs in either kde or gnome. I have been able to test this by bringing up xev before launching netscape, using the menu, and then noticing that there are no events showing up in xev. I can move the mouse and I see the cursor move, but the events are not registering with xev. Before anyone says that this is a netscape problem only, I usually end up killing the netscape processes from another console session and control still does not get restored to the Xwindows desktop. This is a critical problem as it is an obstacle to my use of my Linux box on the net. I am in fact typing this from Internet Explorer. My system statistics are as follows: CPU : AMD K6 - 2 400. MB : Tyan S1598C2 RAM: 128M Video: ATI Rage 128. I am using the Suse version of the Xserver recommended to fix strange behavior associated with the ATI card. Thank You Matthew Harelick
we can't duplicate this with XFree86 4.0.1 in Red HAt Linux 7.0 beta, so we must assume that the problem is either solved or localized to your installation.
