UI Crashed - Game still running

Version .1991

I was flying in search of unknown signals. I noticed the handle count increasing steadily as I traveled through space. The memory also increased slowly. I started grinding an unknown signal and then entered the cockpit. The UI then froze for a few seconds. I then lost the mouse cursor from the screen, but as I moved the mouse over the screen it still highlighted the buttons. I could not exit the screen. I could use the keyboard arrow keys to move around on the screen. The ESC key did not function. I moved the mouse to the top right corner of the screen and then moved it diagonally until the X highlighted. I clicked the X many times and nothing happened. I could still use the arrow keys on the keyboard to move around the entire menu system.

I had to shift-tab to leave the SE2 app and then right click to close SE2.

The log file is attached along with 3 videos showing that I tried everything to exit the menu and that the keyboard still worked, except for the ESC key.

Note, that I have noticed in the past that strange things happen in SE2 when the SE2 memory usage approaches 12GB, but have had it as high as 26GB in the .57 version.
