Do you have multiple browser tabs open? There's a horrible flash bug on at least 64 bit Linux that will happily freeze any and all flash instances within your browser. The culprit is usually some stupid video advert in a tab you're not even using. It seems to get more likely the more flash is running. Symptoms are all your flash areas going grey and unresponsive. Only mitigation I found is use a separate browser for editing. If your normal browser is Firefox, just fire up chrome for potlatch only to stop the interference. I was actually using this in a non-potlatch context: trying to watch f1 practice on iPlayer at the same time as surfing news sites.
OK I did have a lot less active last night ... and probably was looking up other data to cross check things at that point in the evening. I DID have flash disabled completely simply to get rid of the advertising crap, so I probably want seamonkey configured with that off again, and just use a firefox window for editing ;)
Thanks for the nudge ... exactly the sort of thing I was looking for! -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
