my problem soon reappeared... but I managed to solve it. I use a logitech mx wireless mouse, and found some post saying that windows can mess something up with the receiver. It seems to be related to smooth scrolling, I noticed just before the problem started that my scrolling was way faster then usual. Tried making changes via gnome shell to mouse settings but it didn't do anything. Then I installed "solaar" and through solaar-cli tried to reset, or at least view, what the settings were, but to no avail. It couldn't access any settings, however it did show my devices properly (K270 and MX mouse).
I managed to reset the scrolling issue by flipping the power on the mouse itself. Scrolling went back to normal and the problem is gone for now. Hopefully it stays that way. It's amazing how many things can break for almost no reason... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1181666 Title: gnome-shell randomly blocks mouse clicks from working in app windows To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell/+bug/1181666/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
