I'm having this problem years later in Gnome 3.36.3, Ubuntu 20.04.1. It
also happened in 19.x. I don't think it's a duplicate of #1181666
because that states some interaction is still possible. In this issue,
the whole ui is stuck. Windows, shell, clock, video that's playing,
everything but the mouse cursor. Done a lot of searching for a newer
ticket but none is a dead ringer like this.
The problem develops a while (hours?) after a fresh start and seems to
get more exaggerated as time passes. On a larger scope, a fresh install
is free of this problem at first, and then it develops after days/weeks
of normal use. Had a hunch that it started after installing a particular
package, but I can't remember what it was for the life of me. Clutter?
Wxwidgets? Just a hunch anyway.
Closing of menus, tooltips, and to some degree open/save dialogs are
delayed up to many seconds. This makes interacting with file managers
and web pages infuriating. I have interface sounds on (smooth soundset,
which includes menu actions) and noticed that opening a window menu and
scrubbing the mouse over the other top level items (file, edit, etc.)
still produces sound while this is going on, and the total wait time
until the display unsticks is compounded with every one. ***To me this
says it's not "no click" so much as "can't see".*** After zigging back
and forth I can be waiting a minute or more, meanwhile I can still hear
music playing, etc.
Regarding comment 2, I've not yet tried deleting my gnome settings
because I didn't want to gum things up, but regardless I'm not sure how
that implies this should be closed or is invalid. Gnome shouldn't be
doing things to that file that interfere with its own operation, right?
Again, this is from everyday use, and I've not been messing around in
things.
