Ehh... Not really worth the trouble at this point as I've resolved it myself by just disabling Wayland.
Since Wayland won't be default in 18.04 anyway, there's a good chance the issue will be fixed by 18.10. I've posted the same solution on an Ask Ubuntu question so it may help others. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1730174 Title: [artful] mouse clicks are completely ignored both in Gnome's gdm and once logged in to the desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1730174/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
