[Bug 1508267] [NEW] Mouse randomly fails to click menu bars, launcher, and title bar

 

Public bug reported:

Periodically, and for no predictable reason, Ubuntu will start to ignore
mouse clicks in certain situations.  The following seem to fail when the
condition is active:

clicking title bars.
clicking close, maximize, or minimize.
mousing into the menu bar at the top of the screen produces no menu bar, and does not respond to clicks
the launcher on the left no longer produces information on mouseover, nor does it respond to clicks

The following seems to continue to work when the condition is active:

clicking in text input fields within applications
keyboard

I can generally clear the condition by flailing around with alt-enter or
by changing to a text console (alt-F1) and back to X.
