I accidentally stumbled on a "fix" for this.  I happened to hit the
right-hand mouse button, which brought up a menu.  When I released the
button, the mouse behavior returned to normal again and I was able to enter
the hostname, gateway and DNS information.

Has anyone else encountered this?  Any explanation?
