Bug Description

A few seconds after the braid screensaver starts running, either as a screensaver or in the Screensaver preferences, the computer becomes unresponsive. I can move the mouse, but clicking doesn't work, and keypresses do nothing. I have to turn it off to get it back.

Thanks for your bug report. braid is no more in the default install of Ubuntu. If you have the xscreensaver-data-extra package installed, you can uninstall it and you'll get rid of braid.
