Yep, I'm getting the same behavior.  I thought it was 
something flaky about my test machine, a Dell OptiPlex GX1p, 
but I guess not. :)  Sometimes changing focus to another app 
and back again fixes, but not always.  The next time it 
happens, I'll try minimizing/maximizing as you suggest, 
and/or the Tab key as another suggested.  So far, I've only 
seen this happen in Mozilla (1.4.1).
