Terry - Only go to chatrooms where you can keep both hands on the keyboard!

The only thing vaguely similar that I've run into is one or two sites that download so much adware that the keyboard - and mouse - are blocked for a time during page loading, due to the heavy "send" traffic.

I also occasionally get a temporary "locked" condition when I accidentally click to some video and/or slideshow pages, apparently because the site force-feeds their presentation.

So far as I can tell, everything resembling your description is specific to the sites, and has nothing to do with your own setup. The effects are emphasized by my slow dial-up connection, so others with quicker bits might not notice them (as much).

Oh Dear, John...

Looks like your bits are getting just as slow as mine - it's called age...

Well, I was thinking more like it's called "dial-up," but that does put me among the venerable ancients I guess.
