When tapping on an a certain action, Android asks you to select which app you want to complete the action with (e.g. when you click on a YouTube link, the screen will dim and a small screen will come up giving you the option to go with the browser or the YouTube app. You also have the option to click to save as default). Lately, though, when such situations come up, my screen only dims but no window comes up asking the the selection to be made. If anyone has the Picsay Pro app, try tapping on the 'get picture' button, see if anything happens.

Anyone else experiencing this issue?
 
This is a well documented Honeycomb bug. When the screen dims, simply rotate your Xoom 90 degrees (it doesn't matter which direction) and then back again. This will allow the window to calibrate properly and redraw itself. At that point, the issue will not return until you turn off/on your Xoom again. The first time you attempt to perform an action with multiple possible apps, it will dim again. Rotate once, then done.
