dia locks up and takes the mouse with it

[Ken Sharp]

Dia can lock up and stop mouse clicks meaning anything at all on the whole system.

It doesn't happen every time but:

1. Add text to a sheet.
2. Do something else.
3. Edit the text in one.

Hitting ESC doesn't do anything and it's impossible to regain control of Dia.

The mouse point still moves but it's useless.

"pkill dia" <-- not the best command, kills Dia and restores control of the mouse.

Nothing in the console, the X log or the syslog to give a clue.

This has happened several times

Turns out it isn't just text. It has just done the same thing again but with a (textless) icon.

The keyboard still, so I can CTRL+S to save my progress, but the ALT menus do not work.
