Hmm. Doesn't happen here.

This is a CA gadget. Hmm. Are you sure that you do not have an old
version of ClassAct installed somewhere else ? If not, what Kickstart
do you use ?

Strange. When I use AWeb I can scroll and click, even enter text into
forms while the page is loaded.

Again strange. I can abort any transfer (although many transfers are
backgrounded and I need the network window to abort them).

Doesn't happen here. If I move back and forth this works as if the
pages are loaded from the net, except that there is no network activity.

Since we are using the same AWeb there must be a difference. Did you
ever try it without Executive ? The scheduler might have some significant
influence on the behaviour of multithreaded applications.
