I can't reproduce it here. Is netscape trying to open other windows (cookie notification, alerts, etc.) when you're doing this? From what I can tell, no other windows are trying to be opened. I am simply dragging the mouse up and down to scroll as I read the page. This problem is sporadic for me, sometimes it happens sometimes not. I have noticed one similarity in the lockups, It happens when I pause in scrolling the page but still hold the left button down, then start again. I'm still thinking it may be with just my system, but this problem only happens with netscape. reported to netscape *** Bug 4179 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Under GNOME 1.0 on RH5.2 (all updates applied), Netscape Communicator 4.6 will occasionally cause the entire system to lock up completely. X no longer responds (ctrl-backspace doesn't work nor does atl-Fn) to keyboard or mouse. The machine no longer responds to ping (or ARP). Network interface is Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100 using driver v1.08 of 5/3/99. Configured to force 10Mbit. This could be a GNOME bug, I've had the system die similarly from GNOME but can't quite characterize what I was doing. In Netscape, I was on an ftp site with a long listing of files and mousing madly on the scroll bar . Then everything froze. The ftp site was rufus.w3.org and I was in RPMs for the letter 'P' I believe. The x11 log shows "Gdk-Message: Got event for unknown window: 0" . Alas, these messages don't have a timestamp on them. I think in future I shall pipe them to logger so they are timestamped, rather than just redirect to file. I perused /var/log/messages, didn't see anything recent that applied although hours ago was a message from the Ethernet card that the transmitter timed out and it restarted. As there were IP-related (ident) messages seconds later, presumably the restart was successful. ------- Additional Comments From notting 07/23/99 14:37 ------- *** Bug 4180 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Under GNOME 1.0 on RH5.2 (all updates applied), Netscape Communicator 4.6 will occasionally cause the entire system to lock up completely.
