I accidentally stumbled on a "fix" for this. I happened to hit the
right-hand mouse button, which brought up a menu. When I released the
button, the mouse behavior returned to normal again and I was able to enter
the hostname, gateway and DNS information.
Has anyone else encountered this? Any explanation?
