Interesting OmniWeb beta 2 bug

	Here's a bug I'd like someone to confirm, just in case it is some
weird problem with my system configuration instead of OmniWeb's fault.

	Open any web page (I tried this with the OmniWeb beta page itself:
http://www.omnigroup.com/Software/Omniweb/2.0/)

	Now, ALT-click a link (I tried this with the bug report page).  On
my system, LeftALT-click opens the page in SpiderWoman.  Your mileage will
vary.

	Now, I close SpiderWoman, and come back to OmniWeb.  Now normal
click the bug page link.  On my system, OmniWeb looks like it is trying to
do something, but doesn't actually open the page.

	This behavior only seems to crop up where LEFT-ALT-click is the
*first* thing done to a link.  Then, all subsequent attempts to click the
link fail.  On the other hand, if you click the link *first*, then come back
and LEFT-ALT-click the link, the link seems to work properly.

	Can anyone verify this bug, and what happens on systems without
SpiderWoman?

	Duane
