I've had this problem as well, and it's almost certainly a netscape thing. It always seems to happen if my finger slips and I open and close a menu item too quickly at the wrong time. Presumably, Netscape is doing a global pointer grab and then forgetting about it. I wonder if it happens on other unices?
