I had the same problem with NS 4.5! It was the main reason to update to
4.6. Neither 4.5 nor 4.6 is running perfectly with Java enabled. Some
Java applets will do and others will not. Try http://sydsvenskan.se with
Java enabled. This swedish newspaper has a Java programmed selection box
at the left side of their home page. Use it two to four times and the
communicator will hang. Switch off Java and try again. This "none-Java"
version works fine. This is only an example. I had the same problem with
other sites too. Using the communicator without Java since then.
BTW: I use NS 4.6, KDE 1.1 and SuSE Linux 6.1 (Kernel 2.2.5).
Has anybody already asked Netscape about the problem?
Regards to everyone
