Happens very frequently for me also on a vanilla 18.04 (Thinkpad), but
only on a small subset of applications. What's strange is that the bug
appeared a few days ago after years without problem.

I do not use any external peripheral (nothing connected to the laptop
except the power supply).

An easy solution to solve this without rebooting the whole system is to
disable then enable the TouchScreen (disabling alone is not sufficient).

Following Paul Müller's steps:
- find your TouchScreen input ID with ``xinput`` (in my case ``Melfas LGDisplay Incell Touch id=9``
- ``xinput --disable 9``
- ``xinput --enable 9``

If you want to automate this in a script/alias, you can easily retrieve the ID once you know the name of the TouchScreen:
- ``xinput list --id-only 'Melfas LGDisplay Incell Touch'``

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: rapidsvn

  When clicking on the Bookmark root or on one of the bookmarks below
  the mouse cursor gets stuck in "drag n drop" mode, blocking all
  keyboard entry and also mouse clicks for the the whole GUI
  (systemwide).

  Unfortunately I cannot provide any debug or other information, as I
  have to reboot everytime.

  I am running Ubuntu 9.04 with compiz enabled.

  Many thanks in advance for your help with this problem,
