After some more testing I can add the following: - The bug is consistently triggered by a suspend/resume cycle (sudo pm-suspend) - An easier workaround instead of logging out and back in is to switch to a different VT and switch back. - Right after resuming, the computer behaves as if the left mouse button was continuously pressed. For instance if the cursor is over selectable text when resuming, moving the mouse selects text as if the button was pressed. Actually pressing the button does nothing. - xev shows no message at all when pressing the left button. Moving the mouse or pressing the right button show the expected messages.

The right button, the movements, and the keyboard all still work normally. The laptop's touch screen also still works. The left mouse button doesn't work anywhere, neither in the application nor in the shell widgets. Unplugging/plugging the (usb) mouse has no effect. Logging out and back in does temporarily solve the problem. It usually occurs after resuming from suspend, but it once did occur shortly after plugging in an usb pendrive (this might be a coincidence of course). This is with Gnome Shell on Wayland, on 18.04. This report is similar to bug 1743183, except in that bug it seems the left mouse button never works in Wayland. In my case, it usually works, but stops working after a while.
