Terminating hung Silverlight does not un-freeze the browser window. It seems to affect only the window with Silverlight - other windows are unaffected. It responds to keyboard, but not to mouse.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the url
2. Click the fullscreen button -> browser freezes (bug 602502)
3. Terminate plugin-container.exe
4. Attempt to use mouse
5. Attempt to open links with keyboard (tab, enter)
Actual Results:  
The window stays frozen, and only responds to keyboard commands.

Expected Results:  
The window should unfreeze.

will likely be fixed by bug 570249 but unfortunately that can't land at the moment.

Blocking, but we'll hopefully just test/resolve this when bug 570249 lands.

Confirmed fixed by the patch that just landed there. The core problem with the dialog is still tracked by bug 602502.
