I had such an encounter which I cannot reproduce. I was editing something in TheIDE. An accidental mouse movement maybe in combination with mouse click, etc caused a help window being popup with the mouse pointer becoming a up-pointer finger, carring a info popup with it. The mouse were thus captured and no effort (key strokes, mouse clicks, etc) could release the capture. Keyboard were still working but I eventually had to power off my computer and restarted it to come out of the situation.
