I clicked on a link from inside eclipse. This opened the embedded web browser (which I guess is IE8 since I never changed any related settings).

I opened a web page which had a JavaScript problem and got the "Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?" IE8 warning dialog. 

Clicking Yes, No or trying to close the popup dialog had no effect. The buttons showed hover responses, but clicking them did not work. Using the keyboard to select a button didn't work either. I couldn't close the web browser tab and I had to kill eclipse as the entire UI was blocked by this popup

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:
I can't reproduce, but the problem appeared because of the Stop Script warning popup. The web browser seems to function normally on my setup otherwise.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
