I expierienced exactly this too a few weeks ago. As I saw no other way, i 
reinstalled PA3. Until now everything is working well, althoug I make heavy 
use of activities. Now I have created 7 or 8 of them. I am very carefull with 
the browser: I never open a new window and always wait until the webpage is 
completely loaded. 
Is there a way to backup and reinstall the home-directory in case this happens 
again and i have to reinstall PA3?
