Occurs in approx 3/4 of new Navigator sessions.  Crash also closes Mail if open.

If first bookmark selection is successful, no further problems.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Navigator
2.Select any bookmark from drop-down menu

Actual Results:  
Bookmark menu freezes open.  Cursor is still responsive.  Clicking anywhere on
the Navigator window causes bookmark menu to be replaced by white rectangle. 
Navigator unresponsive apart from clicking X to close.

Expected Results:  
Not crashed! :)

Occurs with all themes.  Occurs whether Navigator is only item open or if others
are as well.  Identical problem when using full release of v1.6.

When this happens: does hitting the "Esc" key help?

Yes - with repeated tapping, eventually clears the locked menu and leaves the
page blank.
