I am running gnome desktop. when i start netscape from icons or command or button. many times i loose the keyboard, the mouse still works for links but you cannot enter a URL or enter on a web page. I just keep starting it over and over and after 4-5 times it works. when the keyboard is gone, i can change windows and it works on other stuff. Also, on some web pages, netscape just disappears and system returns to desktop. no particular www page.
We've never seen this here ; are you using click-to-focus; focus-follows-mouse, or...?
You might turn off Java and Javascript (independently) and see if either one of them is correlated with this bug.
