I am buggered if I know how to explain this, so please bear with me.

Also apologies if I am not using the correct terms.

I use MBP Snow Leopard 10.6.2 and use both Safari 4.0.4 and Chrome for browsing, and it is increasingly happening (on both browsers) that I need to click outside the active window (i.e. go to the menu bar and click on it, anywhere on it, to be able to press a link or a new tab buttons inside the open window).

If I dont do that the active window buttons or links do not work, they depress or shade or do whatever, but do not actually do the function.

I hope this makes sense.

Does anyone has any recommendations?

Cheers.





P.S. I asked this on a different forum, so please note that "any recommendations" should not include a suggestion of using a different browser. I do not intend to do so. Nor I care about why you may thing that either of my two are bad or whatever.

P.P.S :D Good to meet you too.
