Somewhat similarly, I found that, on a laptop with no external input
device (only the touchpad), the file menu would not drop down from the
toolbar, though all the other menus did. Odd. It lasted about a minute.
Gimp 2.8 on Mint 18 x64.

Title:
  Can't click on UI elements in gimp (intermittent)

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gimp

  Using kubuntu/9.10 on a lenovo x60 tablet PC (wacom). 
  When using gimp, I find that drawing with extended input devices causes all UI interaction outside of the drawing area to stop. For example, I can not click on menus, toolbox, etc. No other programs are affected, and I can usually restore UI interaction by switching the active window (specifically, clicking the title bar on the image window and then the toolbox window restores interaction. I do not have this problem when using the mouse, only the tablet pen.

  Here is an exact sequence that produces this result:
   - start gimp, create new image
   - select paintbrush tool
   - draw in image
   - now I can no longer click on menus or toolboxes (although they do respond to the mouse pointer rollover w/hilighting, tooltips, etc)
   - click the image window title bar (focus switches from toolbox to image window)
   - now I can interact with menus and toolbox again
   - repeat!
