Sorry, was too long ago to remember the specifics... it was a
mouseover event that attached to the document and thus blocked any
events.  It could even be fixed now.  I remember a lot of
prototype/scriptaculous events clobbered the events rather than
appending to the event list.

Right, and the people who use prototype are aware of the deficiencies
and work around them.  They're not asking for support :)  Marcus is a
smart guy, as evidenced continuously, but I'll never know why he uses
prototype :)
