Tabs loaded in background not clickable?

Post by jp10558 »

I'm running seamonkey 2.33.1. I've got Adblock Edge and Ghostery extensions. If I middle click on a link, or click to load a new page and then go to another tab in Seamonkey while the desired page loads in the tab that is now in the background, when I go back to the desired page tab - nothing is clickable. The mouse doesn't even notice it's over links, it stays as an arrow, until I reload that page. This has been the case since I started using Seamonkey to replace Opera 12.x, so a while now.

Is this a bug? Is it one of my extensions? Does this even happen to anyone else?

Easy enough to test that. Does the same thing occur if you launch the application in Mozilla Safe Mode? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode
