Yes and no. Emacs appears "hung", but clicking on a menu releases it.
I assume that moving the scroll wheel "activate" the menus, and Emacs
is just waiting for further instructions. Changing focus to another
window seems to work as well. I'm using:
23.0.60.1 (i686-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.8)
