No crash/hang, but after a while no keyboard keystroke is working

Jungle:
Do you remember, Mathias, I mailed you about similar behaviour. It is easily reproducable. All you need is launch some exe and get the following window (see pic). While the window is shown go back to MC and you'll see that keyboard navigation is broken. After closing that window MC is OK again.

Maybe something else can cause such behaviour.

P.S. The window on the pic is "Open File - Security Warning" dialog. It seems to be system warning. It can be enabled/disabled in the Internet options (in IE or Control Panel). Option name is "Launching Applications and Unsafe Files".

Mathias (Author):
it is not the same because then you have a process that is launch that is awaiting input, and since MC is waiting for Windows to continue and start the process or cancel it,the Main Ui is blocked, until you tell windows what you want

Jungle:
OK. I launch something that is not visible but acts like that process/window. Is it the same now?

P.S. BTW when I launch the same exe in other file manager, that security dialog is shown modal.

Mathias (Author):
It is Windows that shows that dialog.

Here the keys are stopped without anything being launched

Jungle:
1. I told that it is similar behaviour. But personally I think that both cases have the same root.

2. Open Windows Explorer window and launch such exe (in my case it is GoogleChrome portable from portableapps.com). Security warning will be shown. Now try go back to Explorer window. It is impossible because warning dialog is modal.

Now launch that exe in MC. Warning dialog is not modal for some reason.
