Body: <p>Every so often while I'm editing in Final Cut Pro, I zoom in or out with the trackpad and suddenly the app becomes unresponsive in a strange way - you can't click on anything, right-clicking the icon shows the normal menu with "Quit" at the bottom but it doesn't work. There's no spinner or anything - it feels like it's spawned a modal dialog window somewhere unreachable, so it's not a crash per se - more like it's gone into a weird undefined state. I've tried tabbing and "show all windows" and all sorts but no dice. </p>
  
  <p>All I can do is force quit the app but it really feels like there might be a better way to fix this problem without doing so.</p>
  
  <p>Has anybody else experienced this problem? I haven't had any luck on Google.</p>

Comments.Text: Voting to reopen. Anybody that uses Final Cut Pro should know that forcequitting and reopening FCP is just as part of your production workflow as color grading. One trick I found was turning off and turning back on your mouse. On the MX 3S you can tap underneath to disconnect bluetooth, same thing. This works 20% of the time.
