As of a few minutes ago links becomes catatonic when I position
the cursor on a text input field. The program at that point responds
only to an <esc>, at which point the file menu comes up and I can
select exit, which works. The catatonic behavior happens repeatably
at the webmail page at mindspring.com when I attempt to login to send
email. It is perhaps interesting to note that when I use lynx to access
the page, I get two warnings that the ssl certificates are invalid.
Links does not report that problem.
I cannot use lynx to send email since lynx does not support javascript
and that capability is required at the mindspring webmail page.

Can anyone reproduce this behavior with links?

I discovered by accident last night that links is not actually
catatonic; but it only recognises upper case. No lower case characters
are accepted as input to text fields in html forms, at least for the html
form I use the most.

(Note: I never saw that first message, apparently due to my ISP being
difficult.)

This is not reproducible; links www.google.com allow me to enter stuff
into the search field, both upper and lower case.

This problem is definitely browser and web page specific. I am now
thoroughly confused, but the problem is not even close to critical.
I will post more specific details the next time I run into this problem.
