My observation is same, never had problem with earlier releases or any other software.

I don't use Gimp, but I think I would have noticed accidental drag and drop for any other software. A simple mouse move ends up dragging image from darktable or changing properties of module.

I believe chromium uses GPU behind the scenes - at least based on command line options and other pointers in source code. That one and any other programs I normally use don't exhibit this behavior. If mouse button is stuck, chromium would select the region on simple mouse move.

I'll install Gimp and see if I can reproduce the problem.  PC was not heavily loaded. I had barely opened one image from film strip at the bottom and was planning to choose one of the modules after adjusting exposure. Moving mouse around caused exposure module to go berserk and moved every slider. I did switch to other programs to see if I can reproduce and if it's mouse problem with no luck.

I can confirm that I had the same behavior on my notebook around the release of 3.6. Not sure about the exact version of dt, because at that time I did not have much time for it. I was running xfce on manjaro with Nvidia and OpenCL. Since then 3 things have changed: I switched (for another reason) to gnome shell, I updated the system and darktable to the latest version, which means master for dt, and I am not facing that issue any more.

    Have you observed the same with other programs
    using opencl? I think Gimp could be a
    candidate; try to keep it busy for a while and
    see if that happens again. If so, my first
    guess would be to blame the video driver and/or
    the version of the x server. Is there a version
    you could update to? Anyway, you may increase
    the chances of a sensible answer posting this
    question on an ubuntu list.
