After a period of time I am unable to click on any folders. Single or double- click doesn't highlight/open folders respecively, and right-clicking doesn't bring up the context-sensitive menu that you would expect from right-clicking on a folder (you just get the option to create new folder, etc. Not rename or delete or anything like that). Single- clicking an icon for an application in the Launcher does work however. Applications such as Google Chrome also don't respond to a right-click or dragging the scrollbar. However double-click works if I go into System Settings... Mouse and Trackpad and use the test face. I can also rubber band around icons and they get highlighted, but if I try to move them it just starts drawing another rubber band.
