Hi, Thanks for looking into this!

I tried testing with System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts and it turned out
it shows "Print" in both cases. But.. later I realized PrtScn had nothing to do
with it! The clicks break the moment Fn is ON. I just discovered that when
trying to take screenshots. Turning Fn OFF immediately fixes the issue.

Few clarifications:
- When I say Fn is ON I mean the light on the Fn button is ON.
- When I say the clicks break, they don't fully break, the active window still
partly works: sometimes I can select icons in Dolphin or start dragging the
window, but a drag gets stuck with the button held, and releasing it isn't
registered. Pressing Esc ends the drag, and after that nothing reacts to clicks
or hover at all. The pointer keeps moving and the keyboard keeps working.

Another example: desktop is in focus, I turn ON Fn, clicks and hovers no longer
work on any windows or the task bar, but desktop icons are clickable.

It only happens with the built-in Surface keyboard. An external Bluetooth
keyboard (Dell KB740) doesn't cause it. In my first report I blamed Fn+PrtScn
because Spectacle's overlay was where I first noticed it. Sorry for the
confusion; the title should probably be something like "Clicks stop working
while the Fn light is on (Surface Laptop 5 keyboard)".
