Confirmed for Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2b)
Gecko/20021028 Phoenix/0.4, although I wasn't able to reproduce it
every single time.  I can also see this problem if the alert box is
generated via JavaScript using the following page:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
  <body onload="window.setTimeout( 'alert( \'Hello!\' );', 10000 );">
    Alert box will appear in 10 seconds...
  </body>
</html>

It seems to depend on factors such as where the drag is at the time
the dialogue appears.  When I could see the fault I *was* able to
dismiss the dialogue and the toolbar configuration dialogue, but the
menubar entries remained greyed out and while over the menubar and
toolbar the pointer was still shaped like a hand.  Everything appeared
to be working normally over the content area and in the text entry
fields on the toolbar.


Hans, please query for existing bugs before reporting new ones. Reporting
duplicate bugs wastes a lot of developer and QA time. Thanks.
