    > Problem:  Emacs stops refreshing
    > 
    > Symptoms:
    > 1)  Keypresses are applied (including commands like save; quit still
    > quits) but not displayed.
    > 2)  Emacs will not refresh if a redraw is needed (like switching away
    > from and back to the virtual desktop).
    > 3)  Next click of mouse is captured by Emacs (see next).

    > How to get:  click on the menu bar of an Emacs window anywhere to the
    > right of "Help" (the last item).  Happens every time in my version.

I just tried this, and I think it is a feature of the menu bar.
This click seems to activate the menu bar, so that dragging the mouse
across it brings the menus up.

Another click on the menu bar area deactivates it, it seems.

Whether this feature is really a good idea, I don't know.
I also don't know how to turn it off--but an X toolkit wizard
might know.
