Because I have a Slash-dot account for use if I want to post a comment there, my user ID and password are saved by SeaMonkey's Pasword Manager. I visit <http://slashdot.org/>. The Stop button reverts to disabled, and the throbber stops its activity. The Password Manager requests my master password. I cancel the dialogue popup because I am not planning on posting a comment. Less than a minute later, the Stop button is enabled; and the throbber resumes activity. Note that Slash-dot's login is via a script. The login dialogue is hidden until a user selects the Login link near the right end of the navigation bar at the top of the page. I do not see the problem if JavaScript is disabled before selecting the <http://slashdot.org/> link. -- David E.
