Mike> When that happens, are there any relevant messages in the Error Mike> Console (in the Tools menu) No messages. I have noticed that if I just click in the address bar to start typing, it never happens. (Normally I start by typing Control-L.) And when it's stuck, clicking in the AB at that time makes it unstuck. IOW, it's another of many iceweasel focus / keyboard interface woes. -- Ian Zimmerman <[email protected]> gpg public key: 1024D/C6FF61AD fingerprint: 66DC D68F 5C1B 4D71 2EE5 BD03 8A00 786C C6FF 61AD Ham is for reading, not for eating. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
