This phenomenon occurs on ALL of my macs 10.6+ and occurs roughly 2-5 times a day.
When this bug shows itself, it's really annoying. When I switch apps, I click a new app but the task bar still shows the old app. When in "bug mode" Clicking on the desktop doesn't work. Using expose to switch apps doesn't work. alt tab doesn't work.
To fix the problem, I have to click on the original app again then click on a new app. It doesn't matter what the original app was, be it Finder, Mail or VLC, Transmission.
So basically the OS becomes unresponsive to events anywhere other than the original app.
