Somewhere between slink and potato upgrades, something changed which
caused my links to stop working in netscape. Mouse clicks work fine
everywhere except on links. If I right-click a link, I can get a menu,
and open the link in a new window, but if I simply left click on the
link, the link turns red (active link color), and stays that way. If I
then try and click on another link, or another part of text, the program
selects the text as if I hadn't released the mouse button.
Bug does not exist in mozilla or other browsers, and does not appear with
older (slink) distribution and same version of netscape. System is
running all up-to-date libraries (from dist-upgrade) as of Feburary 25th,
however bug has existed for 2-3 weeks.

Potato is long out the door. If you could confirm this problem with a
current Netscape package it might have some importance, but you
probably do not run slink any more, so I guess this issue is dead and
buried.

Exactly the symptoms you describe below. Here is what I have found: I
close all Netscape windows and then check the Task Manager (NT 4, Win2K)
or get to the tasks by ALT+CTL+DEL (Win95, Win98) and there is still a
Netscape process running. When I end this process, Netscape links work
again. I don't know the cause, but I use this method to get Netscape to
work again (reboot not required).
