Bug on reformat/accept?

My image seems to have got into a state where any
reformat/accept seems to work, but then gives a walkback
(included below). Any idea why, or how to fix it?

Try the "Panic" button, it usually works for me.

It sounds like the error (and similar - category update events can cause it
as well) that I get once every couple of weeks or so but, and not without
quite a few attempts, have been unable to reproduce it at will.  It's
something to do with closing a browser down and then doing something in
another browser (before the closed browser is garbaged?) which triggers an
event that the first browser is still registered for.

Panic button seemed to make it go away. No idea why, though :-)
